Aled slips past me so quickly that I hardly have time to notice it. It's like quicksilver. My brain registers it as Alec, but then it readjusts it to Alan, but then it's not sure. It's a little unsettling.

But that's just my ignorance of it as a name. It certainly is pleasant sounding (are you saying "AL-ed" or "AH-led," or another way?), has meaning -- a strange meaning, but a meaning. (Hello, this is my son Offspring. Huh?). The "-ed" on the end is pleasing to me because it makes me think of medieval names like Edwin and Ethelred. If you don't mind the confusion with Alec / Alan, then I don't see why Aled couldn't work just fine as a boy's name.
