Where did the name "TangleArden" come from?

As a CZT(TM) (Certified Zentangle Teacher), I agree to help protect the Zentangle(R) trademark by not using it as part of my business name. "Tangle" is a generic term that anyone can use. So I combined "Tangle" with the place (not a town or a village, just a place) where I live, "Arden." I had thought about reversing those two elements, making "ArdenTangle" but I could see how some people would see it in all lowercase letters as "ardentangle" and think "ardent" "angle" or maybe even add an "r" at the end making it "ardent" "angler." Because a lot of fishing goes on in this area, I just didn't want to step in the fishing pond with my business name. So TangleArden it is, and it's not a hair salon, either!
