Not to be confused with Aiden.
Not a fan, but it looks much better than Aidan on a girl. I hope people realize that this is a separate Irish name from Aidan and don't think it's a variant of Aidan.
Aideen Nicholson (1927 – 2019) was an Irish-born social worker and Canadian politician.
Aideen O'Kelly (1936 – 2015) was an Irish actress of stage and television, who worked in both Ireland and the United States. She was nominated for a Drama Desk Award for her performance in Othello in 1982.
Aideen Hayden is an Irish former Labour Party politician who served as a Senator from 2011 to 2016, after being nominated by the Taoiseach.
The main character of Not My Problem is Aileen Cleary.
Wouldn't this be an anglicization of Éadaoin, the more modern Irish form?Because Étaín is AY-teen, not AY-deen. And Éadaoin is EH-deen (but in an English pronunciation would sound more like AY-deen). [noted -ed]
Pretty.
For anyone that makes assumptions, Aideen has ZERO connection with Aiden and Aidan. They mean completely different things and come from different roots, so Aideen is not exactly a feminine form of Aiden.
This name is really pretty. I like Aideen for a girl more then Aidan for a boy. The association with a goddess is pretty cool as well.
My 9 year old daughter is named Aideen. She loves it because nobody ever heard of it.
My middle name is Aideen, and I have yet to meet anyone who has ever heard of it, let alone has it as a name. My parents say they chose it becuase my god-father's sister was Nadine, and thought Aideen would be different and unusal. They were right. No one has ever been able to guess my middle name.
I like this name a lot, but I would probably prefer the spelling "Aidine" or "Adine". For some reason it looks better that way.
I like Aideen *a lot* better than the original Étaín, which reminds me too much of the number eighteen.
A great alternative for everyone who's considering "Aidan" for a girl.
Pretty name, a tad old fashioned. Should be used more in historical fiction, I think.
