Eden??

[natandmat]

Boy or girls name??

What was your immediate thought? I really like this name for a boy, teamed with either Arthur or Nathanael for a middle name, but I'm worried people will think I've given him a girls name!!

[BurnThisDiscoDown]

Girl, but then I know a little girl called Eden.

[mumtolilh]

I am on either side! I think that's a 50/50 name for sure! Go for it! I love it!

[BeehavingBaby]

Surely a girl's name?

[5madthings]

Its unisex. We had it on our name lists, my dd has it as a middle name but i would use it for a boy as well :)

[BinarySolo]

I know of a boy called Eden, but I view it as more of a girls name. That said there's loads of unisex names I'd probably steer clear of naming a boy: Jodie, bailey, Jesse, Kerry etc. They just seem a bit weak for a boy.

[Fairygen]

I love it! For a boy, it's great because it's unusual but not too way out.

[SixFeetUnder]

Girls name around here too.

[DoingTheSwanThing]

Girl. But a very lovely (girls) name.

[OutragedFromLeeds]

I know two girls called Eden, no boys. For me it's a girls name.

[Linguaphile]

Girl.

[maresedotes]

Immediately thought of a girl but I think it could work for a boy with long blonde wavy hair (but no guarantee of that!) Lovely name.

[NorbertDentressangle]

I only know one Eden - a 9 yo boy

[natandmat]

Fairygen you've kind of hit the nail on the head on why I like it, unusual without being too out there and ridiculous! After some googling I found it was a boys name originally and has only recently been used for girls! It's funny because I would never consider it on my girls list!

[AlteredState]

Girl for me but then my dd (6yo) has been in nursery and school classes with two different Eden's. DM on the other hand always thinks dd is talking about a boy!

[EleanorFarjeon]

I know 2 girls called Eden.

[thegreylady]

Google Eden Wood :)

[lolalotta]

I know a little boy, 1 years old who is an Eden.

[picnicbasketcase]

It sounds like a girl's name to me. But I can see why it would boyish too, as its similar to Aiden/Hayden.

[YonicTheHedgehog]

I think of it as a boys name, like I think Robin as more of a boys name. Wouldn't raise an eyebrow if I girl was called either though.

[Breezy1985]

Girl's name to me.

[Mellymog]

I think it sounds feminine but i know a boy called Eden. If you look it up in baby books it is traditionally only a boys name.

[BardOfBarking]

Eden - I would assume girl, but my dd is Arden and that can be either.

[PearlyWhites]

Girl

[ExitPursuedByABear]

Girl

[miffybun73]

Immediate thought - Girl.

Don't know any girls or boys called Eden.
