Eden or Shay for our baby girl

[AutumnLoves]

Hi everyone, my boyfriend and I are really struggling picking a name for our daughter who is due in September. My boyfriend has his heart set on the name Shay but I love the name Eden. If we choose shay the middle name will be either Olivia Talia or Alexia. If we choose the name eden the middle name will be Renée. The surname is Smith. What do you guys think.. Shay smith or Eden Smith?? Just thinking to think if the names will age well too.

Bollox they are fucking snobs looking down their noses at a choice of name.

@ElevenSmiles
I agree 🤣
Like both names but Eden much nicer with surname

Shay is horrific, and a boy's name anyway surely?!

Shay Smith is even worse.

Eden's lovely.

And it's your choice- you aren't married. If Smith is his surname, give the baby yours anyway!!!

Eden. I only know Shay to be a boy's name too.

@Shayisgreat Shay is a lovely Irish boy's name and one that will suit all ages.
If he isn't a teenager yet I'm sure he will love his name as it is very cool.
Please don't take notice of Mumsnet snobby comments saying it's down-market, it isn't reflective of real life.

We currently have two boys at our school called Shay. It's definitely a boy's name.

Eden is lovely, use that.

Eden. Shay is a boy's name.

@alwaysundecided ☺☺

I don't like Shay but love Eden

There's a male Shay in my DC class at school.

We know a couple of Edens - both girls. It's not my sort of name but I'd def choose it over Shay for a girl.

Eden isn’t too bad but Shay is awful

I know a girl called shay but spelt che

I only know girls with these names, no boys. They are all UMC American children, teenagers, and young adults.

I prefer Shay. I wouldn't use Talia as a middle name for someone whose first name started with S.

I see Shay as a boys name personally. And too many S sounds with Smith.

Eden is much nicer, but not to my taste personally. It's a bit... sorry... chavvy.
