Re: GOLDEN
Unfortunately with the millions of names that are in existance world wide it is virtually impossible for any one site to list every name every used
Golden is in use both as a first name and a surname
see
http://www.ancestry.com/search/SurnamePage.aspx?sourcecode=13304enter Golden in the search box

The meanings they list for the surname are
English: nickname for someone with golden hair, from Middle English gelden, golden (from Old English gylden).
Irish: reduced Anglicized form of Gaelic Mag Ualghairg (see McGoldrick). Though I would think the meaning for first name of Golden would most likely be the English one
A childs smile is worth more to me than Gold
