Rylee or Eden

For a boy, I like these two.
They would have a more 'proper' middle name, either Anthony or James

I know two male Eden's, and one female who changed her name to Bede- because she felt that Eden was a male name.

RaininSummer · 11/09/2017 23:11

I would assume they were female names.

Jellybeans90 · 11/09/2017 23:13

I like Rylee but with a more grown up surname like James. Can be shortened to Lee

Rylee is awful, sorry. I don't mind Eden for a boy, but not with Anthony. Anthony Eden was Prime Minister from 1955-57.

A suggestion that takes in all your choices: Rea Lee Blu. Is perfect.

Both a bit awful. As a teacher I would definitely roll my eyes at the sight of a child on my register called Riley spelt Rylee...

The only Eden I know is a girl.

Can't imagine a child of either name becoming a high court judge.
Riley (spelt the less chavvy way) is your best option.

Sorry to be blunt but you wanted opinions.

Chavvy

Jellybeans90 · 11/09/2017 23:46

What about Beau Riley?

Are you just randomly picking letters from a Scrabble set to make up names?

peachandplum · 11/09/2017 23:48

Beau is also horrible. Can't you just give your kid a normal name?

Only1scoop · 11/09/2017 23:49

Oh no not you again Grin

Chickoletta · 11/09/2017 23:50

Sounds like Boo Radley to me (To Kill a Mockingbird)

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 11/09/2017 23:51

Beau Diddley?

Sophronia · 11/09/2017 23:51

Boo Radley Grin

Should be some kind of test before you're allowed to breed.

Call your child misfit- will probably go better than anything else you've chosen.

Sophronia · 11/09/2017 23:52

How about Noah Anthony or Noah James?

SirNiallDementia · 11/09/2017 23:55

Why do you keep starting new threads? Just stick to the one and add to it when you think of any more names you like.

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 11/09/2017 23:57

What about Bruce and Nosh?

FizzyGreenWater · 12/09/2017 00:07

Druse and Noush

Montsti · 12/09/2017 10:36

Sorry but I really dislike Riley/Rylee etc...

Eden is ok but I would've thought that it was a girl...

numbmum83 · 12/09/2017 11:15

I think this has gotta be a wind up .
Rylee and Eden are awful
Blu is awful
Beau looks girlie to me too

Riley is just about acceptable .

00100001 · 12/09/2017 11:36

Eden is a nice name. I like it.

lunar1 · 12/09/2017 11:37

Both awful!

FizzyGreenWater · 12/09/2017 12:08

What on earth is the problem with Eden? Know two, nice name, quite MC if anything! (not that that should matter at all!)

euanthesheepiloveyou · 12/09/2017 13:15

Rylee is beyond awful. Just really, really bad. Eden is very feminine but better than Rylee.
