Eden for a boy.

[meadowlarks]

I know both a girl and a boy with this name, and I think it's great on both of them, and it reminds me of James Dean in East of Eden. In context, I think it really suits guys, however, I know on paper it seems quite feminine, which is why I wanted to canvas opinions. What do you think?

No, just no. It's a girl's name.

Way way too girly IMO.

Atticus, Stanley, Arthur, Edmund, Somerset???
WTF sorry but you sound totally bonkers. Under the circumstances I think Eden is the way to go but please please reconsider your middle names!

Hey, I know a boy called Eden who is in the school under-9 rugby team.

i know of a little boy: Eden Gardiner...hoping they don't send him to public school..

One of DD's best friends is a male Eden. He is nearly 14.I have always loved his name, and it has always suited him. AFAIK, he never got teased or given a nickname.

Casmama - I never said you had to like my taste And yes, I am bonkers. Those are tame, extremely tame, compared to others I've thought of.

purepurple - That's good to know. Like I said I think it really suits boys, but I was expecting this "it's too girly" backlash...

Agree with Casmama.

Eden is effeminate to me too, but the only Eden I know is male (6yrs old)

like it for a girl

Prefer Aidan for a boy.

lidofabiro - Aidan just doesn't do it for me, I'm afraid...
