So I've well and truely gone off Matilda. It just doesn't feel right when I say it.
Heard the name Eden yesterday for a girl and just sounded quite appealing.
So what do you all think?
Also brothers name is Noah. Would they be too much together?

Absolutely love it. I'm a teacher and have taught girls with the name. Some pronounced with an Ee sound at the start of the name like the garden of. .. and some spelt with an Eh sound like the sound at the start of the word egg.
Both lovely names. All the Eden's I've taught have been lovely, lovely girls.

There's an Eden in a Barbara Vine novel. Love it, really unusual.

I wouldn’t choose it but I think it’s nice

I love Eden for a girl, really dislike it for a boy.

I've only known it for boys!

Absolutely love it!

Eden is a beautiful name, I love the fact that it eludes to a meaning of paradise.
Noah is lovely too..as others have said it then becomes a very biblical theme so if that’s kit what your after maybe don’t use Eden.

Love it and know one!

I really like it

I like it and know a little girl called Eden.
However when I see her I always have the song ' last look at Eden ' by Europe stuck in my head for the day!!
That's not a bad thing though as I like the song.

I know a Noah and Eden sibling set. Great names.

Have also known a boy Eden (not pronounced like the garden). Not a bad thing just saying!
