Eden for a boy?

[tabbycatbythesea]

Too girly?

I know 2 Edens, both girls so I'd say yes. Ethan is nice though.

Yes, too girly.

I really wanted Eden for my boy but it got slayted on here.

First ever Eden I met was a boy and it's also my future nephews name...it's seen as a boys name in Turkey. I think it works for either.

I love it for a boy.

I love it for a girl... not sure for a boy.

I've only ever heard of it being a girls name on here - the only Eden I know in real life is a boy.

I only know Eden as a boys name!

I only know it as a boys name. But then, I only know it from Eden Hazard.

Girls name for me (UK based)

Oh I meant to add I'm UK based (Turkish BIL)

It's unisex but does feel more feminine to me as I've met a few girl Edens and no boys. No reason why it shouldn't work though!

How about Eben or Auden if you want something more decidedly masculine?

Awful for a girl. Heinous for a boy, sorry

Works of both I'd say after all it is a word name.

The only Eden I've met was a bloke. He was very pleasant and handsome, which is probably why I like it as a male name :)

We live in the Eden valley in Cumbria, I know about 6 Edens here, they are all girls.

I've only met boys called Eden before. It's a perfectly pleasant name.

No.

How about Aedan?

I prefer it for a boy!

I love Eden for a boy! Don't know any Eden's in RL.

I like it for a boy, I think it sounds really cool. It's definitely more popular for girls at the moment though so might be more of an issue when he's older. It also seems to be the name of a lot of brands, particularly cheap cosmetic ones which puts me off.

Lovely!

It's traditionally a boys name and ONS shows it's more often used for boys than girls,

I know there was that daytime soap that had it on a female character, but most people won't remember that

I'd assume a girl. Aidan?

The first two Edens I met were boys so I'm always surprised to see it as a girls name.

Aidan and Ethan are awful and Eben gets mispronounced a lot, don't choose those.
