What do you think? DH won't discuss names yet so want to get some opinions before the big discussion (after 20 week scan)

The MIddle name would be Caitlin after my mum Kathleen (prefer the Irish spelling£

So Eden Caitlin x (one syllable surname)

Thoughts?

Last name starts with H
One syllable .... Think fog, French, cream

I really like the name Eden, but I've seen it cropping up a bit on here recently, if popularity matters to you. Also, isn't it the name of a TV channel?

Much prefer it to Caitlin and the other family names you've listed.

I'm not a huge fan of either name but it's a very personal thing.

I'd stick another middle name between Eden and Caitlin, otherwise you've got two nnnn sounds together

like Eden Mary Caitlin Jones

Very nice - everyone will be able to spell it, pronounce it, remember it. Has a very pretty referent too.

Eden Caitlin Jones/Smith/Carr. Lovely

limetrees · 09/09/2011 13:04

I much prefer Caitlin to Eden.

lizzieloubee1 · 09/09/2011 13:02

I like it too. Nice ad easy to learn to spell, she won't be known forever as Eden X, but not so unusual that people will judge.

deviladvocate · 09/09/2011 12:05

I think it's lovely - unusual and very pretty!
