[Opinions] Eden
Replies
I've been thinking about this name too! I hesitate to use any name associated with religion, but this one is so attractive. I personally have trouble envisioning it on a boy, but I love it for a girl. I feel like it would work well in any phase of life.
Eden is gorgeous. I’ve always loved it since I first encountered it as a name.
Nope. Don't like it at all.
I've known two female Edens (one is in her 40's and the other would be about 7 now) and I know of one male Eden. I don't really like it, I can't exactly tell you why but I don't generally like a lot of E names so maybe that's it. It's fine though, not too common but not too unusual.
Well obviously I love it, as it’s my DD’s name! We had that name on our list in our very first pregnancy and kept carrying it forward, until we had a girl and could use it! I like it for a boy too, but DH wasn’t keen and I still preferred it for a girl anyway. It’s gained in popularity here in Australia, but it still isn’t super common, thankfully. Eden Rebecca, Eden Sophia and Eden Daphne are all nice. I actually love the sound of Eden and Daphne for sisters, that would be lovely. We loved Eden Sky and Eden Rose too, as there is actually a species of Rose called Eden, so we liked that. Ultimately we went with Eden Arielle, because we just thought it was such a beautiful name for our very beautiful girl:)
I like it as well but I personally prefer it for just boys, which I suspect puts me in the minority. Still, it's a nice name. Something you don't hear everyday yet practical and simple.
From your list, I like Eden Rebecca. I think it has a nice ring to it, despite not caring for it as a girl's name. /:

Eden is the front-runner for my daughter that is due in the Fall! :) I like how its known, yet not too popular. I think it was around 150 in the charts last year, and its def not common around me (New Jersey)
We're still trying to figure out a middle name. My husband hates the ones i like:
Eden Celeste,
Eden Colette,
Eden Magnolia,
Eden Olivia (love Olivia despite its popularity)
Eden Allegra,
Eden Vera (he might be OK with this one. He knows of my LOVE of Vera but doesn't like it enough for a FN)

I think Biblical names are great and are underused. However, I don't like Eden. NMSAA. It's incomplete.
