Eden (for a boy)?

[ernjas]

Thoughts?

I’ve only known it for girls

No. It sounds feminine to me.

No, way too feminine.

Same, only know it a girls' name.

know a 3 year old boy called Eden. He constantly gets referred to as she and people think he is a little girl.

Not for a boy.

There was a male Eden on Love Island Australia this year.

I'd use it for a boy. It's no different to Ellis, Elliot, Elijah, Elias ect.

Eden from celebs go dating..
I hadn't heard of it til then..
I actually quite liked it

I had a male colleague with this name, Australian.

Yes.

Eden was always a bits name until a US daytime soap had a female one (and a male Cruz to boot)

I think it's a lovely name for a boy.

I don't like masculine names on girls.

Aiden? Eden seems like the female version.

Yeah, Eden actually ranks at #274 for boys and #113 for girls. Less used for boys but still used. I know one in their 50s and one in their 30s.

Isn’t eh-den a Jewish girls name? Maybe ee-den is a boy version?

I would associate it with a girl.

I know one, late 20s, male. I don’t like the name much, personally...

I know two boys called Eden, one aged 5, the other is 12, but I think it's more of a girls name tbh.

Well, I can immediately think of a well-known male footballer called Eden, but the only other one I've heard of was a girl (and would now be about 23, I think). I think it's uncommon enough that you could get away with using it for either really.

I would think he meant Ethan and couldn't pronounce his own name as Eden to me is def a girl name.

I had it on my boys list. I know both boys and girls with the name. If you like it, use it. Congratulations.

Eden is a male character in the Jalna books by Mazo de la Roche. I saw it there first so don't see Eden as a feminine name.

I prefer it for a boy.

I heard eden as a boys name. its really awful as a girls name .

I love it for boys. Think it's a bit twee for girls but seems to work for boys.

I know a boy called Eden. It sounds quite strong and masculine imo
