When you hear the name Eden

[mude]

Do you think, male or female?

I see it as a feminine name.

I only know one Eden and they are male

The only Eden in my radar is the nightclub , to me it be a bit like calling your kid Hacienda ..

Yes another one who thought of Ibiza...
Would say girl if anything but it sounds quite stripper to me

Female.

Unisex

Female.

Strongly dislike it.

Is it just me thinking of Eden Hazard then? Obviously not as famous a footballer as I had thought ...

I've heard of it as a male middle name (but think that was a surname IFSWIM) and I know a female with it as a first name.

Female. DD has a friend called Eden. Lovely name.

Female.

But I'm my mind it's akin to calling your child Heaven or Nevaeh or Precious or something.

Female

Female.
However, I know two brothers, both with the middle name Eden.

Female but I think it would suit either.

Female
And a wonderful female too
She'll be Olympic champion one day - 2022

Female.

I wouldn't be able to the get the Emily Dickinson poem out of my head every time I heard it though:

"Rowing in Eden -
Ah - the Sea!
Might I but moor - tonight -
In thee! "

Eden. I like it but that snippet from the poem would be enough to make me not use it.

Female.

Initially female (because of Eden Taylor-Draper) but recently met a really nice male Eden in his 20's, so unisex for me now. And he's very classy thank you very much. Lovely name.

Female.

Eden Hazard pronounces it differently, more like eh-den than ee-den, so if I heard ee-den I wouldn't think of him.

Female. Bit naff.

Male because of Eden Hazard.

I would also pronounce it the way he does too unless corrected.
