Eden for a girl

Just trying to find out if I'm crazy, DH has decided that my taste is in my arse not great. I love the name Eden - would be either Eden Kate or Eden Rose after grandmothers on either side as middle name.

DH first told me it's not an actual name (Hmm, I'm aware that it is) but now tells me that it doesn't go with DD1 (Sasha Isobel).

What do you think of Eden for a girl? Does it go with Sasha?

My Little girl is called Eden and i find it a really weird name for a boy,it means paradise amongst other things which i think is quite girly, our DD's full name is Eden Georgia Roisin (irish for rose) and we had her baby sister in novemebr who we called daisy, I love pretty names for girls!

I like it, but do always think of that Barbara Vine story someone mentioned, as that's the only place I've heard it, never in real life. In the story it was a nickname for Edith IIRC.

I've never heard of it for a boy, maybe it's a variant of Aiden?

There was a series of books called White Oaks Chronicles, which stretched over several generations.
Main characters were Adeline, Eden, and a little girl called Pheasant.
Eden was a hero as far as I remember, (I was about 8 when I read them so I may be wrong.)

What I meant was Eden was a man, and I believe the books were well known at one time.

I think it does sound like a girl. But then I know a girl Eden. Lovely girl, lovely name.

I love it, and know a girl aged 17 with this name.

I know a baby girl Eden and an older boy called Eden. Both work. The name is lovely.
