Auden?

[jshores]

What do you guys think of the name Auden for a boy? Do you think it sounds too feminine? Maybe it should be paired with a more "masculine" middle name? I also like the idea of having initials he can go by for a nn. So, I like the idea of a middle name that starts with J or C. Any ideas for a strong middle?

Auden Collier
Auden Crewe
Auden Caedmon
Auden Cassius
Auden Jaxon
Auden Jex
Auden Jenson
Auden Jenner

I also really like Auden Grae and Auden Dashiell.

Thoughts?

I like Auden for a boy, an old fashioned name worthy of resurrection.

Possible middle names, Charles, Colin, Christopher or Jonathan, Joseph, James.

I really like Auden for a boy. I'm also really getting tired of the question "Is this to feminine?" whenever people ask about a boys name that isn't John or Micheal. Sorry, that question just really bugs me.

I don't care for it, but it's not awful. I don't think it sounds feminine at all really. I like Auden Charles.

I think of Auden as unisex, but I do prefer it on a boy. I like it a lot! I think you should definitely go with a very clearly masculine middle-I like the suggestion of Charles.

I like Auden for both genders. I don't think it's too feminine. Auden Dashiell is nice, very literary. I also like the suggestions of Auden Jude and Auden Callum.

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

And Jersey, I wasn't really asking if it was feminine because it wasn't John or Michael. I really just wanted some insight on if people consider it a girls name or a boys name. I obviously don't want to give a name to a son that is solely associated with girls
