Arlene

I was born in 1965. When I was growing up, my neighbor's mother's name was Arlene, my name is Arlene, and my neighbor across the'street was Darlene. I thought Arlene was as common as Sharon or Debbie (back in the day). Boy was I wrong. Not the name I would have chosen for myself, but I think Arlene Francis, a famous singer was my parents' inspiration.

I love my name. I was born in 1968 and named after my mother's favorite actress Arlene Doll. It's unique and in my lifetime I have only run into 3 other people named Arlene. I can't stand that people have to follow the most popular names - the Anne's, Jessica's, Lauren's, and so forth - boring!! My only beef is that people can't get the'spelling right. I hate people that'spell it Arleen. Get it right people!!

My name is Arlene Anne and I was named after my father's secretary. I was born in 1961 and never heard of another Arlene until I heard of the an actress with the name Arlene. I have in my older years heard there are a couple in the town I live in but have never met them. I like my name but do get annoyed when people do not spell it correctly. I have been married for 55 years and my husband still tells me I have a pretty name'so I am happy ?

My name is Arlene. I have gotten asked how to pronounce my name once. People do spell it wrong. I have not met other with my name. I have gotten compliments about my name as well.

My name is Arlene Edith. I was born in 1974. I think both of those names are old and not very pretty sounding. My sister, born in 1976 is Sandra Helene. That is a beautiful and flowing name. I know several other women named Arlene, one close to my age, several are 20 years older. The name Arlene seems to have gained a little more popularity on Britain during the late 1992s. I do like that it means pledge, because I always keep my word.

I like it it is my middle name my moms first name. Great lady with great name!

My name is Arlene and I love it. however I have also seen It'spelled as Arleene, Arleen, Arline,Arlin,..... Not sure which spelling is correct though.

Kia ora my name is "Arlene" I'm from NZ and i've never liked the name, I have always wanted a Maori first name like most people I know. It has always been spelt wrong as in Arleen, Arlena, Eileen people associated it to the'song come on Eileen. I have never met anyone with the'same name which can be a plus and It's not a common name either. While growing up with this name it was such a hassle, I used to get teased alot but now that I'm older It's not so bad but I still don't like my name.

I have a cousin called Arlene and she is the only Arlene iv ever known or met, i think the name is beautiful just like she was and it realy suited her'she had such a beautiful calming aura about her, i havnt seen her for years since i was a young girl, but have fond memories of her also she looked like one of my older'sister's Pat which confused me as a child as i would see her walking down our road and i would run up to her thinking it was our Pat coming home from work but to me they looked like twins but did i later find out they did have the'same father???‍♀️??‍♀️

I love my name I have only meet one person with the name Arlene and they spelled it Arleen so kinda not the'same name.

I was born in 1964. Arlene Francis and Arlene Dahl were celebrities. My father wanted to name me Earlene (!) but my mother had more sense, thank God, and selected Arlene instead. I always liked my name. It's strong and to the point. I have never met another Black woman with this name, and only a bare sprinkling of the name in all my 69 years. ?Arleen, Arline? spellings are terrible in my opinion.

My name is Arlene and i have grown to love my name. Not so much when i was younger, as someone else indicated above, i associated it with an older persons name. I was born in 1978 and have yet to meet another Arlene. Have been'told that all Arlene's are "full on sexy", so there.
