Considering this name for our son but I’m concerned about pronunciation … how would you pronounce this?

All-den
or
Al-den (Al as in the beginning of Alexander)

All-den is what I’d instinctively go for

All-den - but then I started thinking about it, and sometimes I pronounce it more like al-den :woman_facepalming: not must help there. I think All-den is my instinctive one though

one of my favorite names :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: I pronounce it all-den! I’ve only ever heard it used on a character in a show I love, and that’s how they pronounce the name!!
