Eden nn Edie? For a girl

I love it but have two on DH's side called Eden, one child and one adult - both male funnily enough. I think on the continent it might be considered more of a boys name? (Pronounced Edd-un rather than Ee-dun)

I love it for a little girl though

I know an Eden. Known by all as Ede.

I love Edie but don't like Eden. I know one and she tends to go by just Eden though some people shorten it to Ede (pronounced as if it rhymes with speed)

I think that Eden's shortened to Ede or Edie is fine. Edith is just about ok but I used to work with a French Edith, but IIRC it was pronounced Ed-eet. She sort of anglicised it to Ediff

Great response thanks all! Middle name next ..

Middle name. Is there a name in the family that you could use? Like maybe your, your DM or DMil's first name? I would chose something quite feminine without being too flowery. For some reason, I'm thinking of something like Eden Margaret Surname or Eden Sarah Surname.

Had another think, and decided flowery could be OK. Eden Lily Surname, Eden Rosalind Surname...

Eden is lovely.

Keep suggestions coming please!!

Suggest you avoid Project, Hazard, Gardener/Gardner, Green, ...

Eden xx

Eden Francesca?

Eden Willow would be pretty.

Nothing with plants or trees. It's just silly with Eden.

It's quite a difficult one to pair up nicely.

How about

Darcy
Charlotte
Harriet
Felicity

Love Eden rose

I'd also avoid anything flowery or naturey. Most peoples' association with Eden is the Garden of Eden, so having an Eden Lily or Eden Rose is a bit overkill.

Eden Elizabeth
Eden Alexandra
Eden Ophelia
Eden Olivia
Eden Amelia / Eden Emilia
Eden Isabella / Eden Isabel

Eden Louise
Eden Anfi
Eden Grace
Eden Emily
Eden Elsie

Thoughts please x

I know boy and girl edens.

Eden grace

Edie makes me think of E.D. - emergency department. It sounds too much like an acronym for me, personally, very much like Mia makes me think of Missing in Action... sorry, probably not helpful at all!

I do like Eden though, if that helps? Just not non to edie.

Out of your middle names list I like Eden Anfi the best. Louise works too depending on surname.

I like Eden Elizabeth and Eden Rose.

I imagine edie as her 'baby nickname' but Eden for when she's older

Thanks noname.. never heard anfi before

Also, my Eden has a flowery middle name and people have said how pretty it sounds and I'm definitely not a 'flowery' person as such.

So far we call her Edie, Ede and Eden!
