Dislike. It feels too trendy and just...trite I guess.

It's so bizarre for me to hear it called trendy. When I was growing up (and up until about 15 to 20) years ago, I never heard it on anyone anywhere.

I have a somewhat similar name (Cayden) and had the same experience. Never knew any others growing up. I think both Eden and my name *have* been trendy over the past 20 years, though — Eden much less so, though.

It's trendy now. Your parents were definitely ahead of the curve I think.

I do understand that it is trendy now, but just seeing it/hearing it put that way is still bizarre.

Tried making a joke, but just reread it and I just kind of sounded like a jerk. Lol!
