In the 2015 movie The Invitation, there's a character called Eden, "Edie", and when I saw that I suddenly liked Eden. Before that I found it very hard to connect with, it gave me that Uncanny Valley sort of disgust. But Edie humanized it.

Eden on a boy still gives me that disgust, like it's not a human being. I think it could work, though somehow it feels like boy-Eden has more "baggage". It feels like a billboard for something and I'm suspicious of what they're trying to sell me. I guess I'd have to meet a real person with this name to see how I really feel. So I guess I prefer it as a female name!
