Help[Opinions] Aiden?
I have this character that I've been calling Aiden. I've been thinking about changing her name, though, because even though the meaning is perfect ('little fire'), her story is set in a (semi-)fantasy world that would be about equivalent to the late 1800s to early 1900s and I doubt that someone would name their little girl a boy's name during that era. What I'm looking for is a name with a similar meaning, sound, spelling, or, like, general feel to it, but if you think I ought not to change it you can say that, too. c: Oh, and, this is optional, but it'd be cool if it sounded nice with Clarence. (no this story is not a romance thank you very much)
EDIT: Here's the meager few drawings I have done of her: http://jocastatheweird.deviantart.com/gallery/51298228/Aiden

ADRIENNE!!!
I don't know why it didn't occur to me before. It doesn't really have a "meaning" but it sounds so similar, has a "tomboy" vibe (like Aiden) and fits fine into the time period ;)

Thank you for the suggestion! c: Unfortunately, I am...not fond of that name, sorry. X3

Random ideas (most of these probably won't work for your setting, but I'm just brain-vomiting various Aiden-like words:)
Aedin
Aedan
Aeden
Aerin
Erin
Eryn
Eirian
Aidanne
Aidenne
Aeryn
Aedyn
Aidyn
Ayden
Aodhan
Aodhana
Aidana
Aidena
Aedina
Aedana
Aedenna
Aelin
Aylin
Ailen
Ailyn
Ailin
Ailinn
Eileen
Edana (feminine form of Edan which is a variant of Aidan)
Keegan or Kegan (sort of boyish but comes from the same root as Aiden. And I know 2 female Kegans.)
Azar, Nina, Ignatia, and Pyrrha have "fire" meanings but have nothing to do with Aiden.
Fiera means "proud" but definitely reminds me of "fire"/"fiery"
Brynn, Brynna, Brynni, Bryni (Bryni = old english name meaning "fire" (according to definition of Brenton)
Kenna, Kenina, Cina? (Cinaed means born of fire and that's what Kenneth comes from)

Interesting, thanks!

Seraphine is beautiful, but it's not...quite...the right color.

The only name I can think of with a similar meaning is Fiammetta. It's a little unusual but I guess you could give her the nickname Etta (or Fi)?
Similar sounds:
Ada
Aida
Adele

Adelaide
Adeline
Adelina
Adah
Aileen
Aideen
Ailsa
Edit: How about Diane? It's an anagram of Aiden.

In that vein, there is Fiorelle too... or Fiore, Fiora, or Fiori.
Fiorella is quite a common surname in my old neighborhood.

Ada
Very similar sound, and definitely used in the period.
Also, Tânwen (TAHN wen) = 'white fire' - not used in the period

Ada is certainly nice, thanks!
I love Tanwen, but I don't think I'll us it for this girl. c:
