Eden for a girl

Just trying to find out if I'm crazy, DH has decided that my taste is in my arse not great. I love the name Eden - would be either Eden Kate or Eden Rose after grandmothers on either side as middle name.

DH first told me it's not an actual name (Hmm, I'm aware that it is) but now tells me that it doesn't go with DD1 (Sasha Isobel).

What do you think of Eden for a girl? Does it go with Sasha?

It's evened out now :). Thanks all for your time and feedback. I still love it but get the feeling from DH's reaction that it will turn into one on my list of 'if only I was naming the baby by myself' Grin.

I know a very nice and quite posh teenage girl called Eden. I always suspected her parents of naming her after the Everything But The Girl album...

I love the name Eden and had it on my list for a long time. However, somebody on here suggested it was a bit common and chavy.. not sure if this is true?

i know someone who has a 8 month old irl called Eden Rose. It is beautiful but not my choice

I think it sounds ok with Sasha. Nothing wrong with it at all and at least it will be different from the 3000 Evie's and Maisie's she'll go to school with.

I have to agree, I don't like it myself either. But remember, this is yours and DH's child, your two opinions are what matters.

I don't like it myself.
