Love the name - undecided on spelling and on which gender I prefer

Edin is the spelling of the Dortmund mgr or Eden as in Hazard or Džeko. I'd presume boy name.

Edyn is ridiculous. Eden is nice. I’d assume a girl, didn’t know it was originally a male name.

I work with a male Eden, but the name always reminds me of the very beautiful woman in a Barbara Vine novel.

Edyn looks as if it should be pronounced Edd-yin

I don't like Eden as a first name. Edyn looks like it should be said as Ed-in or Eedin.

Eden. Girl's name. Lovely ❤️

Eden is fine for a girl.

Eden obviously. I really like it as a girls name.

Eden, definitely not Edyn (since it’s derived from the Biblical Garden) . As a nature/place name it’s obviously technically unisex but it swings slightly female to me since its sound is similar to Edie (which is currently trendy for girls ala Sedgwick). Imo Eden’s a very pretty choice btw.

Eden and I know a male and female by this name

Eden is the spelling (if you are in the UK at least, can't speak for the whole world).

I know both a bot and a girl with the name, so wouldn't assume either.
