We are pretty much settled on Eden for our DD's first name but what is everyone's thoughts on Bloom for her middle name?

I absolutely love it I just need to convince DH!

It's fine. It sounds familiar to me somehow but can't for the life of me think why?

I love the name Eden.

DH googled it and there are a few florist called Eden Bloom, that may be why its familiar!

Surly there are worst shops to be named after!

Eden is overused but ok - not with Bloom though. It isn't a name and sounds like an ad for the Eden project.

Eden sounds like it could be a sanitary towel name.
Bloom = blooming = blimmin

Eden is a traditionally boy's name and still in use for boys.I suggest you need something less surnamey in the middle , unless of course your aim is a masculine name.

Not a fan, bit like a character name from a cheesy chick-lit...
Each to their own though.
And congrats on your little girl Flowers

Bloom is a Jewish surname. It sounds very surnamey to me.

How about Eden Blossom? Or another floral name....

Sounds like an air freshener to me.

Eden is lovely, but not keen on Bloom.

Eden - yes.
Bloom - dear gawd no.

Sounds like a powder blusher shade from the 1960s.

Eden is OK but not alongside Bloom. It’s too paint/air freshener.

Sorry, sounds like the name Glade would give one of their air fresheners.

I like it. I like one syllable names for girls and Bloom feminises Eden which is traditionally a male name. Think it will be marmite on here though.

You've all made DH very happy! Boooo

But I do all get what you all mean, back to the drawing board then

Eden is gorgeous... I'm not so sure about Bloom though. Maybe try a flower /plant name?
Iris, Dittany, Willow, Rose, Lily or Jonqil?

No.
Sounds pretentious.
Will a grown-up Eden Bloom thank you for your great choice when choosing her name?
I wouldn't.

Love it! Go for it. I had Eden down for a first name for my DD / DS (we didn't know what we were having)

Eden is lovely . Bloom is awful.
What about primrose, willow, violet or daisy?
