Sorry Cosmoa it was Soubriquet who said it!

I didn't actually say anything about the name Eden. But I actually first heard of the name when my friend Henry told me it was his middle name. So it was a boys name to me first. Very unisex to me!

Do you want an E sound? If you’re not fussed the Euan is a lovely boys name. Ellis is also good for a boy.

For a girl you could opt for Elodie, or Edith (Edie)

CloudPop · 12/10/2018 13:11

How have we all forgotten Eugenie 😂😂

Moneydoesntgrowontrees · 12/10/2018 13:10

Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

I really like Eric, Ellis, Evan, and Ezra (but worried Ezra might be climbing too high in popularity).
Also really like Esme, Eartha and Effie!! Grin
