Zero.  If you have five letters, and four are in the right envelopes, then the fifth would have to be in the right envelope also.  So there's no way you could have ONLY four correct.

I looked up Adian, and nothing came up, but Aidan came up, which is how he pronounces his name, and that's probably how he spells it.  I've never seen his name written, so I dunno.

It's probably Aidan, which means "little fire." 

Can't wait til 4tk gets here and clears it up!!

I have occasional contact with a gentleman in Mexico also who's name is Adrian.   Adian is a new one to me but I'm sure it's possible.

I know someone named Adian.  He's from Mexico.  I don't know if that's a common name there.  I don't know if that's the name that 4thekids was looking for.  But it fit.  If it's not right, they'll let us know.
