I see it as feminine because

---

I knew a girl named Arden, so I'll probably always see it as a girl's name. Maybe if I knew a guy named Arden, I'd see it as a guy's name...but the only person I've ever known was named Arden was female. I think it's pretty for a girl, though - now that I think of it - I could see it on a guy.

definitely male. Love it.

Don't care much for it either way, reminds me of the Elizabeth Arden cosmetics. Since it's surnamey, for me it's more masculine.

Arden is a male name to me.

I see it as a unisex name, but I can't say I've seen it used IRL for either gender that I can recall. It does at first bring to mind a girl, though, but probably only because of Elizabeth Arden cosmetics. :b

I can't really picture it on a male or female. All I think of when I hear/see it is garden without the 'g'.

If it was used on a girl, it would need a very feminine sounding mn to balance it out.
Arden Sofia
Arden Jessica
Arden Maria
Arden Olivia

Arden Joseph
Arden Patrick
Arden Samuel

To me, it sounds masculine. However, I've only known one person named Arden, and this Arden was female. I don't particularly care for the name either way, but I think it makes a good middle name for either gender.
