Asked in a Journal entry posted by jonas:

"How did you come up with your character's name?"

Simply came to me a long time ago. I had seen "Alden Dr." on a street sign, liked the sound of Alden, but altered it slightly to Aldin. After some research and finding it's meaning, it fits. Alden (and its variation Elden) is Old English for "old friend". This squirrel of mine has been an "old friend" for over 30 years. };3
