Eden

[WhyCantIuseTheNameIWant]

Girl or boy?

Middle name?

My good friend has a dd called Eden. I think of it as a strongly female name although I'm aware it can be used for either. I have met one other Eden, also a girl.

Ds1 used to have a female friend called Eden when they were at nursery/reception - she'll be 16 now.

I know 1 little girl called Eden. I love it and would like to call our DD it but DH vetoed it!

I know a man in his 30's called Eden...but he actually prefers to go by his middle name which is....Gary...

We're expecting #3 and if he was a she, her name was going to be Eden :) I've seen it referred to as a boys name but to me it feels more like a girls name.

It's my son's middle name.

Boy.

Even though I know it's been used on girls as well since that 80s daytime soap, I like it the traditional way.

I know a lad called Eden; I like it.

I teach a boy called Eden...8 years old...Really suits him as he's beautiful.

my son is named Eden.

he's almost ten and it was definitely considered a masculine name when I chose it.
apparently there are lots of younger girls now named Eden but to me it sounds more masculine.

I've only ever met one other Eden, a boy the same age as mine on the eurostar in 2009
