I think it's lovely for a girl, not that great for a boy. Though the right boy could probably make it work. I think at first, people would think of the Biblical meaning and only that, but once they got know her they would start thinking of it as her name. It just has this beautiful ring to it, and reminds me of simpler times.

I know two female Edens: Eden Nicole and Jessica Eden, but I think I would like it better on a boy if it had to be used at all.

I really like the name Eden and I actually prefer it for a girl.

Very much a girls' name to me. I think it's lovely, but perhaps too religious for me.

Neither, sorry. I think it's a bit tacky for a girl. I don't mind Edan for a boy, but the pronounciation is more like Aidan than Eden, I believe.

I don't like it. It's kind of high drama.

Girl.

I like it for a boy.

Definitely girl. On this site it only lists it as feminine. I know a little girl named Eden-Rose. I've always thought that was very pretty.

The one Eden I know is a girl, so I tend to think of it as a girl's name.

I would never use it. The religious overtones are a bit too much for me. But it is pretty!

I only like it for a girl. It's pretty but I always think of eatin'.

I love it for a girl, it's so pretty, and hate it for a boy, as I just can't picture it as masculine

I love the name Eden. For a BOY ONLY

I like it on girl ,pretty name

I think of Eden as a girl's name. I've known two Edens and they were both female. I think it's a very pretty and somewhat unique name.

I like it for a girl. :)

Mum to Hayley Anne

It used to be my favourite boy's name until I found out about Caspar, Felix and Finlay. On Animal Hospital, a show much-loved my moi previously, there was a presenter called Eden Gaha and that made me think of it as a boy's name.

I think it's pretty on a girl, actually. Layla Eden would go nicely. So would Olivia Eden. I'm starting to like it!

---

Boy's name, I think. My Theology teacher has two little boys - Eden and Noah. :)

Very pretty, it's a girls name to me.

---

I think it's a very pretty name for a girl! I also like the Gaelic spelling Etain! :)
