Something about the name sounds . . . clumsy. I'm not really entirely certain why, but it just doesn't roll of the tongue quite right.

Arden sounds okay on a guy, even if a bit dull, but Darden sounds wrong somehow. It sounds ugly, and too close to 'garden'. Not that I don't like gardens, but I don't like the resemblance.
