I wad told it was a traditional jewish name.

ABCFamily · 28/06/2017 19:40

Having said that, I think it's a name with a lot of teasing/smutty joke potential!

Graceflorrick · 28/06/2017 19:47

Female and I love it.

Lemondrop99 · 28/06/2017 19:57

I only know girl Eden's but wanted the name for my little boy!

MiniMaxi · 28/06/2017 20:06

Female

flumpybear · 28/06/2017 20:07

Female. But it's a bit of a chavvy name ... sorry ... same vein as things like Raven, Storm, Rain, Summer, etc - not unique enough to be quirky, too many people have thought it to be a bit different that it's now become a bit xhavvy

EezerGoode · 28/06/2017 20:07

Beautiful name..lush...female ofcourse

PhilODox · 28/06/2017 20:09

It's fine... As long as your surname isn't Rifles!

EezerGoode · 28/06/2017 20:10

Ohhh for a boy...I'd not considered that..I suppose it could be..I mean we have Alex that's for both sexes and ..what else..I can't think..oh yeah billy..in my sons class at school there is billy boy and billy girl....my dc actually thought that was their names...not just billy...

female

There's an American Child Beauty Queen called Eden Something-or-Other.

She's very, very famous - has her own range of dolls etc. She looks a bit like a mini Mae West, with a slightly piggy nose.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 28/06/2017 20:19

Female

Strummerville · 28/06/2017 20:20

It's my dd's name, she's 12. I first heard it on a Ruth Rendell TV adaptation (A Dark Adapted Eye) when I was young, and thought it was beautiful, the sort of name I'd like to have (my name is "classic" / MN-approved and I've never liked it!)

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 28/06/2017 20:22

Girl.

bridgetreilly · 28/06/2017 20:24

I know both male and female Edens. I don't really like it for either, personally.

Chickydoo · 28/06/2017 20:30

I know a lovely dog called Eden
(female)

Violetcharlotte · 28/06/2017 20:36

Female. I like it.

MaryWortleyMontagu · 28/06/2017 20:44

Garden, followed by Anthony

(Sorry not really answering the question!)

Ipushedmygrannyaffabus · 28/06/2017 20:46

Female.

Then I'd think 'garden of....' And snigger.
