I heard this name being called by one of the Mums at school this morning. I've heard of it, but haven't come across its use in RL before. What are your thoughts about it?

TIA!

I know a male Eden - think he's played rugby in the past. I think I prefer it for boys/men (but then I don't know any female Edens).

I know a man called Eden. It suits him because he's petite, golden haired and blue eyed, and a very gentle soul.

I can't imagine it on a rugby player or builder though.

My dd has this name as a middle name. I would say its unisex. I really like it obviously :)

Like it...you can then have the gorgeous Edie as a nickname.

I love it for a girl

Quite like it for a boy too but think it's much more of a girl's name

Sounds masculine to my ears.

I know one 10yr old girl Eden. I think it's pretty.

I know 3 girls (5/6 yo) and a 2yo boy called eden

I think pretty for a girl -but definitely a girl's name
