I know girls and boys with the name Eden, it’s very pretty.

I like them both.

how about Roma? Bit different but Remi?

Both lovely names , I have a Romy and she loves her name!

My best mate is called Eden. Beautiful name. I know someone called Romy too and I do like that, but I prefer Eden.

The only Edens I know are from culturally quite hippie/ alternative families, and their names were definitely not inspired by religion of any stripe. The oldest would be in her early 30s at this point and the younger three are mid 20s and 4.

The Edens I know (four different families) have sisters Aria, Freya, Kismet, Tatum, and Lilac, and brothers Glenn, Bodhi, and Thor.

I don’t like Eden due to the Garden of reference and Eve stealing the apple etc. just don’t like that for a girl.

I have a Romy, she’s awesome 🤩 Get lots of compliments on her name. Only downside is that Boris Johnson named one of his children the same name. 🤮

You could’ve shared your associations without quoting me but as you did I feel I have to justify mine -
Eden is a very common girls’ name in Israel, even top name a couple of decades ago. It was made popular here through the Jewish communities around 2005-2010.
Means paradise from Hebrew, as I’m sure op already knows.

Thanks for letting us know what Romy is diminutive for in Germany/ Austria.

Really like Romy but think Eden is pretty too.

catin8oot5 · 10/05/2026 20:25

Romilly

mygrandchildrenrock · 10/05/2026 20:24

They are both beautiful names, in my opinion.

user2848502016 · 10/05/2026 20:23

Neither are really to my taste but I prefer Eden of the two

BlueShoeGlue · 10/05/2026 20:22

Personally hate the name Eden. Not sure why.

Romy is fairly cute. Out of the two definitely hands down Romy is my preference.

Dahlia1234 · 10/05/2026 20:17

Eden is nice. Not keen on Romy

17caterpillars1mouse · 10/05/2026 20:06

I know 2 Romy's and they are both boys do i'd personally go with Eden for a girl

Romy as in Romy Schneider! The famous actress! Very popular name in Germany and France, I love it! (Currently pregnant and will be naming my baby Romy 🤍)

I have the Schneider association as well with Romy. Her actual name was Rosemarie afaik.

Eden is lovely! It is (obviously) a name with a lot of religious significance, which parents should consider (and appreciate) when naming a child Eden (at least in my opinion).

Dd is Romy!

Marshallmallow · 10/05/2026 14:11

The Romy I know is short for Ramona. I think both are lovely.
Eden is very pretty.

thepurplepenguin · 10/05/2026 13:02

I like Romy. How about Romilly with Romy as a potential nickname?

Not so keen on Eden. I know a lovely girl with the name (Catholic, not Jewish), but it still hasn't grown on me.

Britishtrees · 10/05/2026 12:42

Romy short for Rosemary in my traditional circles. Lovely name

Hellometime · 10/05/2026 12:39

Not keen on either tbh. Romy I immediately think of Romy and Michelle’s high school reunion film.

PieLoe · 10/05/2026 10:34

Romy is a German/ Austrian pet name for Rosemarie.

Eden is a popular surfer babe/ hippie name.

This thread is so divided! I like Romy, Eden is a bit meh.

Daffodilsinthespring · 08/05/2026 21:10

Eden is ok. Romy isn’t.

Cali46 · 08/05/2026 21:07

Love Romy!
