Surname ‘Eden’

[ABabyPanda]

I have one DC and due another baby in November, not found out the gender. We cannot decide on a girls or boys name!!
Every name I like DP vetos and vice versa.
Any suggestions for nice names to go with the surname Eden?
Thankyou!

The first girls name that popped into my head was Alexandra, I definitely think names with more syllables in sound good with your surname so how about:

Alexandra
Genevieve
Anastasia
Adeline
Penelope
Clementine

Edward
Alistair
Alexander
Theodore
Isaac
Jasper
Sebastian

@GoldenPlover my 2 year old is Alexander

I love Penelope but DH doesn’t (hoping he will change his mind). Love Adeline too I hadn’t considered that.

I like Jasper too & Sebastian.

Putting the four of them in the baby book! We need to get some on the shortlist - I do wish we had found out the sex now at least to narrow it down!

Nancy, Elizabeth, Sinead, Meredith, Abigail, Everly, Jill, Ivy (I've eaten), Ursula, Amele, Jessica, Ines, Chanel, Dolores, Samantha, Dorothy, Rose.

Neil, Emil, Sean, Michael, Alex, Elliott, Josiah, Ike, Ulrik, Atticus, Joel, Daniel, Lewis, Philip, Robert, John.

@ABabyPanda glad I could help! I love Adeline. I like Adelaide too, which was used for quite a few princesses in the british royal family over the past few hundred years.

For girls

Clarissa
Emily Eden - I really love this
Arabella
Rosanna
Verity

Boys

Alec
Grant
Jasper
Emmett
Zac
Dashiell / Dash

Penelope is gorgeous and I like Dorothy too

Also like Francis / Frances for a boy Or girl

Meredith
Isabelle
Claudia
Adelaide
Beatrix
Grace
Florence
Francesca
Imogen

Benjamin
Elliot
Nathaniel
William

Your surname is gorgeous!

I think these would work:
Rufus Eden
Jasper Eden
Christopher Eden
Kit Eden
Jonas Eden

Matilda Eden
Carys /Charis Eden
Eliza Eden (alliterative but I think it works)
Susannah Eden
Tabitha Eden

Girls names

• Penelope
• Adeline
• Rose
• Isla (DH)

Boys names

• Jasper
• Sebastian
• Jude

This was our list last night looking at this and the top 100. Except DH doesn’t look any of the boys (but can’t suggest any) and I don’t like his choice of girl - Isla Eden?!

Not going well, baby will be nameless

Anthony?

@ABabyPanda I'm really loving Isla at the minute too. I honestly think Isla Eden sounds lovely.

Isla Eden makes me think of Cockney rhyming slang for some reason
I just love Penelope

For boys how about

Clement
Florian
Corin
Sacha
Oliver
Jerome
Gerard
Christian
Keir
Lucian
Julian

Adeline Eden
Isla Eden
they sound awkward when you’d at them
out loud.

Yeah Isla Eden doesn’t flow to me. I love love Penelope. We did like Harper a few years back but I’m not sure now.

I am not keen on any boys name really I do like the three listed but DH doesn’t, yet he gives me no suggestions for names he does like!!

I hope it’s a girl

Rose - Rose Eden a bit too gardeny?

I think a 2+ syllable name, 3+ if it ends in a vowel would work best.

Florence
Evelyn
Erica
Lydia
Harriet

Joseph
Isaac
Edward
William
Zachary

Personally, with a surname starting in a vowel, I would pick a name that does not end in a vowel sound Otherwise the two names can seem to blend into each other. I also think names with 2+ syllables work best.

For example I would go with Isaac over Isaiah, Johnathan over John, Helen over Heather.

I'm with @CoalCraft - our last name starts with a vowel too and we found lots of the names we liked seemed to run into the last name e.g. Nancy Eden = Nan Seeden, Harper Eden = Harpery Den, Phoebe Eden = Feeb Eden!

Some names I think go well:
Alice
Beatrice
Hannah
Harriet
Isabel
Jessica
Mirabel
Rose
Tabitha
