I think this name is super! I've been set on this name ever since I found out I was pregnant, and this is the first site I've seen it listed. Of course, I'm probably going to spell it with a 'z'.
yikes! read the history first

Dresden is most well known as a city that was horrifically bombed during WWII:

This is not an association that will go away --it was a significant historical event and is discussed in countless novels as well.

"Dresden" is also the last name of a popular fantasy novel character: Harry Dresden, the only wizard advertised in the Chicago phone book.
I think some people are fond of the name for this reason.

I have chosen this name for my son as well! Dresden is a great name! Its meaning isn't "the bombing in Germany" it is " city of the riverside people" It was tragic what happened but it is a great city today and also a city in Ohio (among other characters and bands!) I don't like closed minded people that see the first thing that pops up on Google and automatically assume the worst. I like the way its spelled with a "z" too and I call him Drez as well :)
