It's a masculine noun and I've seen it as a boy's name, but more recently it seems to be used for girls. I'd go for it, but be prepared for some surprised responses.

The only Eden I have ever met was a boy so I associate this name with boys primarily but I think it works for both. I think it's a really nice name

I've only ever known it as a girls name

It's a unisex name so you can definitely use it. It's not that uncommon on boys either - it's well in the top 1000 name charts for 2016 for both boys and girls (though I believe it is higher for girls). The only Eden I know irl is a girl.
