I'm thinking it's quite unisex then! I'll be sure to dress him in blue!

Awful as a boys name, passable as a girls name. Sorry.

No. Definitely sounds feminine.

I know of 2 young boys, 1 Eden and the other Edyn. I don't know any females with that name.

It's a lovely name Smile

Eden was always a boys name until that awful US daytime soap.

I know 2, both girls (5,3) until them I'd always thought it to be a boys name. I reckon it's unisex now though.

We had this discussion.

DH liked it as a boy's name.

I felt Eden was a girl's name, Edan is a boy's name. DH didn't like Edan. Hmm

Couldn't agree so scrapped it and went for something else.

Look at DS2 now and shudder at him being called either. So not him.

Don't like it for either gender, sorry but to me it is more suited to a girl.
But that is only my opinion. It's not fact, do if you like it then use it.

Aidan instead?

I think it is nice for a boy tbh. Edan sounds like E-anything else, you may as well go for Dan Smile

Eden is a lovely boy's name.

I've only known male Edens, two of them, one middle-aged and one child. It's a bit tie-dyed, but certainly not that unusual, and not girly.
