I heard this name being called by one of the Mums at school this morning. I've heard of it, but haven't come across its use in RL before. What are your thoughts about it?

TIA!

I dont think of hippy, I think of Christian, as in Garden of Eden.
I like it. I always thought it was a boys name, but have recently heard it for a girl and think it works quite nicely for her.

My friend's baby niece is called Eden and she's beautiful.

She'll get lots of smutty comments when she's older referencing her 'garden' by blokes who think they are being terribly original.

Our number 1 choice for baby girls' name (currently 29 weeks and don't know whether we are expecting a boy or a girl).

So I LOVE it Grin

Also for the record - we are definitely not quinoa eating, cloth nappy, hippy parents to be..... not that there is anything wrong with any of these of couse, just not reflective of our demographic Smile

It's a bit chavvy here and considered a bit 'Jeremy Kyle' sorry. Very overused.

There are three Edens at dd's school. All boys.

Actually, my name is Eden, I'm female and I was born in the 60s. I knew another female Eden who was a couple of years older than me. I've never met a male Eden.
