Surely it's not a name set to one sex? It's not comparable to Evelyn, as that's after Eve, a female character. The Garden of Eden is a place - not a person with a sex?

I'm not particularly keen as it's a bit hippy for me, but it's not awful. I wouldn't like to be called Eden as an adult. I'd assume a child called Eden was from a very religious family

I love it. It's a beautiful name.

I quite like it. A little different, but not too out there.
Lovely girl's name.

It's a boys name? Nice but still a boy name that people have decided is trendy to give a girl.

You don't hear of boys being called Evelyn or Molly, so it seems odd that people give boys names to girls.
