Aidan

Meaning: (Fire, Little Fire, Anglicized form of the ancient Gaelic name Aedan, a pet form of Aed. Name of a bishop of Ferns (seventh century) who was noted for his kindness and generosity. Saint Aidan (Ireland, seventh century) established the monastery of Lindisfarne, one of the great centers of learning of its time. Aiden is a popular modern form of the name.)

Origin: (Gaelic)

Pronunciation: (AY-den)

Gender: Male

I just chose this as the middle name of one of my main characters. I was on the fence with this name but I actually really like it now. I have heard and seen the name a few times and I think it is a strong masculine name.
