Comments for the name Arlene

This name is somewhat unique and it is the best!

Arlene means Promise.

In the Garfield comic strip, Arlene is a long-necked, pink, female cat, who is a friend of Garfield.

It is a nice name. It is my middle name, which I prefer to go by. You can have cute nicknames, like Arlii, or simply the whole name, Arlene. It is a very mature name, landing itself to matrons rather than children. Which is why I like the abbreviation Arlii for young crowds.

This name makes me picture a middle-aged woman with big, red hair, a lot of make-up, and a thick Southern drawl in her speech who spends her time watching sappy documentaries and soaps on TV. It doesn't sound like a very sophisticated name.

This one makes me think of a notably feminine and hospitable woman, or a pink cat that has the hots for Garfield.

Arlene Dahl was a fairly big movie and TV star in the 50's.

Arlene Klasky is an animator and a television producer. She was one of the creators of the show Rugrats.
