Eden or Eloise

Eden - less likely to be shortened. Lovely meaning. Goes with brothers biblical names. ? Too unisex?

Eloise - more likely to be shortened. Doesn't necessarily fit with Brothers biblical names.

Thank you.

Love both, hard to pick a favourite.

Maybe Eden if it fits better with siblings names?

I've just had an Eden and get lots of compliments on her name. I love it

Love Eden.

Prefer Elise to Eloise. Or go full monty with Héloïse.

I love both but actually think Eloise is more traditional, despite not being in the bible. I do really like Eden but it is quite trendy. It is unisex, but has definitely shifted to being seen as more of a girls name in recent years.

Both are lovely but Eloise wins for me if you like traditional.

Eliza or Eleanor could work too?

I prefer Eloise

Eloise is my personal favourite- I can see what you’re saying about it being more likely to be shortened, but I find it such a pretty, timeless classic that I still love it anyway.

Eden has quite a trendy feel, although I know it’s traditional / biblical, it’s having a bit of a moment so doesn’t feel such a classic to me. I do like it, but it’s just less m to my usual style than Eloise.

I know a couple of Edens who are ‘Edie’ day to day so I think it can get shortened easily. Eloise is traditional and classic so presumably will fit well with biblical boys names.

I prefer Eloise.
