Baby Name of the Day: Alden


You may be hearing this lyrical boys' name a little more later on this month when you can see Alden Ehrenreich in Beautiful Creatures.

As "Aiden" grows old and weary as a baby name, Alden becomes a nice alternative. It's an Old English name that means "old friend." Originally, it was a surname, but it's a somewhat popular first name as well. It seems to have hit its peak in popularity around World War I, so it's ripe for a comeback.

Notable Aldens include:

Alden Ehrenrich, actor
Alden Carter, author
Alden Dow, architect
Alden Jenks, composer
Alden Barber, chief executive of the Boy Scouts of America
