I know a boy named Eden. I like it better on a boy, but you never know it could be cute on a girl. I like the nn Edie

I like it but prefer it as a MN

I like it, it's cute. I also think it will age quite well, which is important.

I love it!!

I love Eden! It's short enough on it's own that I doubt many people would shorten it.

I think Eden is short enough and easy enough to pronounce that it won't inevitably lead to a nickname. Although it's a very different style than most names I like, it's really been sitting well with me lately. I like it!

I like it, but I also like the nn Edie
I don't think that she would be doomed to the nn Edie with this name. It's short enough that people won't automatically shorten it, like Christopher to Chris or Benjamin to Ben.

Only one person has ever called me Edie and only one person has ever called me Ed. My best friend called me Edie, but it started with her calling me E.D.E.N, so I guess she actually called me E.D. My mom first started calling me Edna (because sometimes nurses, etc, would call it out in the waiting room) and then shortened it to Ed.

People usually do not try and shorten my name.

I like as a MN only

I think Eden is short enogh that it wouldn't attract Edie as a nn.

I really like it! I also think that since it's short enough on its own, not too many people will rush to stick a nn onto it.

I like Eden. It's one of the few places names that I do like. People may call her Edie, but that's cute, imo. I can't see people calling her Ed, though. That's a stretch.

Sounds masculine like Ethan. It also sounds tacky like a stripper's stage name.

I don't like it. Its tryndee and seems insubstantial. I can't imagine a grown woman with this name.

I love the name Eden. If you tell people her name is Eden then nobody should call her Edie. and if you pronounce it EE-den, then nobody should call her Ed. I really, really love this name, and I think it's underused. You should definately use it!

Well this isn't my name but I wouldn't mind if it was! I love the name Eden! I personally don't see anything wrong with the nicknames Edie or Ed, but I guess that's just me :)

I love the name Eden. I wouldn't worry about the nicknames. I think it is a name that can stand on its own and not have a nn. But if someone ever called her that a simple correction, such as, "Her name is Eden not Edie or Ed." That should work.
