We are pretty much settled on Eden for our DD's first name but what is everyone's thoughts on Bloom for her middle name?

I absolutely love it I just need to convince DH!

Eden is OK but not alongside Bloom. It’s too paint/air freshener.

Sounds like a powder blusher shade from the 1960s.

Shoutymomma · 22/10/2019 18:25

Eden - yes.
Bloom - dear gawd no.

One of his?

Eden is lovely, but not keen on Bloom.

BreastedBoobilyToTheStairs · 22/10/2019 13:57

It sounds like a paint colour or air freshener to me, sorry Op. Its very twee.

Sounds like an air freshener to me.

Bloom is a Jewish surname. It sounds very surnamey to me.

How about Eden Blossom? Or another floral name....

Bigeater · 22/10/2019 13:28

Ghastly sorry

Namechanging2019 · 22/10/2019 13:27

Not a fan, bit like a character name from a cheesy chick-lit...
Each to their own though.
And congrats on your little girl Flowers

Eden is a traditionally boy's name and still in use for boys.I suggest you need something less surnamey in the middle , unless of course your aim is a masculine name.

Manicpixiedreambitch · 22/10/2019 13:24

Eden sounds like it could be a sanitary towel name.
Bloom = blooming = blimmin

percheron67 · 22/10/2019 13:22

Eden is overused but ok - not with Bloom though. It isn't a name and sounds like an ad for the Eden project.

MikeUniformMike · 22/10/2019 13:12

Eden is c*vy and Bloom is bloomin awful.

Lilyannarose · 22/10/2019 12:15

Go for it. I think it's lovely. x

DH googled it and there are a few florist called Eden Bloom, that may be why its familiar!

Surly there are worst shops to be named after!

It's fine. It sounds familiar to me somehow but can't for the life of me think why?

I love the name Eden.
