I want to name a baby not a 90 year old 🙈

I don't like it. I think it will date quickly - reminds me of Dawn - a 1960/70 equivalent. Also super popular, cutsie and just doesn't stand out. Imo.

Suggest as alternatives :

Emmeline
Eliza
Evelina
Elspeth

Is it short for Anfield?

Also, my Eden has a flowery middle name and people have said how pretty it sounds and I'm definitely not a 'flowery' person as such.

So far we call her Edie, Ede and Eden!

I imagine edie as her 'baby nickname' but Eden for when she's older

Out of your middle names list I like Eden Anfi the best. Louise works too depending on surname.

I like Eden Elizabeth and Eden Rose.

Edie makes me think of E.D. - emergency department. It sounds too much like an acronym for me, personally, very much like Mia makes me think of Missing in Action... sorry, probably not helpful at all!

I do like Eden though, if that helps? Just not non to edie.

Eden Elizabeth
Eden Alexandra
Eden Ophelia

Eden Amelia / Eden Emilia
Eden Isabella / Eden Isabel

I'd also avoid anything flowery or naturey. Most peoples' association with Eden is the Garden of Eden, so having an Eden Lily or Eden Rose is a bit overkill.

Love Eden rose

Nothing with plants or trees. It's just silly with Eden.

It's quite a difficult one to pair up nicely.

How about

Darcy
Charlotte
Harriet
Felicity

Mamatallica · 03/01/2017 00:58

Eden Willow would be pretty.

Mamatallica · 03/01/2017 00:54

Eden Francesca?

Eden is lovely.

MikeUniformMike · 31/12/2016 18:50

Had another think, and decided flowery could be OK. Eden Lily Surname, Eden Rosalind Surname...
