We are pretty much settled on Eden for our DD's first name but what is everyone's thoughts on Bloom for her middle name?

I absolutely love it I just need to convince DH!

No, sorry.

How about Blythe?

Love Eden Blythe

We think we may go with Eden Mary, only down to the fact that I'm rewatching Downton at the moment and love Lady Mary ha!

Love the name Eden Mary @WinnieRose1

Awful.

Sounds like a florist based at the Eden Project.

Eden is chavvy in the extreme when used for a girl.
Most Edens I know of are men aged twenty plus and the female ones invariably are aged under ten and hyphenated with something appropriating Mai/Jade/Bloom etc.

Eden Mary is a lovely name

Eden Mary is much nicer. Eden Bloom just makes me think of the Garden of Eden.

HotSince it must be the people you mix with!

I know a male Eden in his fifties and two girls of 13, neither of whom are ‘chavvy’.
I think it’s lovely but I’m not mad keen on Bloom. Blythe or Belle maybe?

Eden is sort of acceptable. I've heard of worse anyway.

Bloom is awful.

HotSince82 · 25/10/2019 11:01

Marcipex
Well, yes I would have thought that goes without saying.
I live in a predominantly working class area, perhaps you have met young female Edens who aren't chavvy. Unfortunately I have and my opinion is equally as valid as yours, my working class credentials nonwithstanding Smile

Eden is a ch**vy name IMO.
It's the name of a chain of bookmakers around here.

CileyMayRhinovirus · 25/10/2019 11:08

I love the name Eden. Don't like bloom. Sorry

schafernaker · 25/10/2019 22:13

Sounds perfectly at home at the Eden project 🤷🏻‍♀️

finallychangedmyusername · 26/10/2019 13:12

Eden Mary is nice

joystir59 · 26/10/2019 13:14

Mary Eden is better

MilkTrayLimeBarrel · 26/10/2019 13:14

Sounds like a boy's name to me - don't like it all - sorry!
