Not a fan, but it looks much better than Aidan on a girl. I hope people realize that this is a separate Irish name from Aidan and don't think it's a variant of Aidan.

Wouldn't this be an anglicization of Éadaoin, the more modern Irish form?
Because Étaín is AY-teen, not AY-deen. And Éadaoin is EH-deen (but in an English pronunciation would sound more like AY-deen). [noted -ed]

For anyone that makes assumptions, Aideen has ZERO connection with Aiden and Aidan. They mean completely different things and come from different roots, so Aideen is not exactly a feminine form of Aiden.

This name is really pretty. I like Aideen for a girl more then Aidan for a boy. The association with a goddess is pretty cool as well.

My middle name is Aideen, and I have yet to meet anyone who has ever heard of it, let alone has it as a name. My parents say they chose it becuase my god-father's sister was Nadine, and thought Aideen would be different and unusal. They were right. No one has ever been able to guess my middle name.

I like this name a lot, but I would probably prefer the spelling "Aidine" or "Adine". For some reason it looks better that way.

I like Aideen *a lot* better than the original Étaín, which reminds me too much of the number eighteen.

Pretty name, a tad old fashioned. Should be used more in historical fiction, I think.
