Eden for a boy?

[2weeksleft]

What do you think about Eden for a boy?

Other names in the line up are:
Reuben
Elias
Ezra (OH isn’t a big fan)

I love Eden for a girl but I know a little boy Eden who it really suits

I knew a couple of male Edens before I heard it used on a girl so I always think of it as more masculine name.

A quick look at stats shows it's roughly 2-3 times more common for girls than boys. I think it's lovely for a girl, don't like it for a boy.

For those mentioning Eden Hazard, if you're going to pronounce it like he does, fine, but not many people do and they pronounce it like the garden, which just sounds very feminine to me.

I feel like after a lot of deliberation we’re going with Eden. Tomorrow could be a whole other story tho 😂

Or Evan which to me sounds similar but a more masculine version?

I've only met boy Edens. It was high on my list for my son but Dh vetoed it 😂 so I'm living vicariously through you!

It's a girl's name

I know a boy called Eden at my son's school, it's a great name for a boy.

Sorry OP, but I think Eden is awful (for a girl or a boy)

What about Evan?
I always associate it as a girls name

@IHaveNoSoul , I only know Evan as a boy's name. It's from Ifan, a Welsh form of John, like in the surname Evans.

Eden’s out the window already, I think we’re gonna need longer than 6 weeks post baby to decide 🤦🏼‍♀️

I always associate Eden as a girls name

I know 2 boys called Eden and my female cousin is also Eden.

I like it for either sex!

I had a grandad named Eden

I know boys and girls called Eden. I like it for both.

My 25 year old God Son is an Eden. Absolutely wonderful boy and it suits him very much.

Great name. I only know it for a boy.

It has a feminine feel

I like Eden for a boy, hate it for a girl. I may be biased as I know a lovely male Eden and a horrible female one!

Gabe sprang to mind as an option?

We know a make Eden, he's 15.

I like all of your names

Oh God no. Love Ezra though

Too girly.

Ayden?

I much prefer Eden for a girl than a boy.
Think Ezra is overdone now, not a fan of Elias.
LOVE Reuben!

I know a boy Eden. Must admit I thought it was a girls name. And still do tbh.
