Opinions on Eden
So, I saw the name Eden here recently and both a real girl had this name and a character on a soap opera has this name. Both girls are very pretty, and I thought this would be a pretty name. It could also be a middle name, but what do you think?

Eden is a beautiful name, and it goes with just about any middle name. I vastly prefer it to Edith.
I don't like it and wouldn't use it: however, it's a matter of taste. I wouldn't like to think of anyone becoming known as Edie, so perhaps the mn position would be safer.
I think it's beautiful, esp Eden Hazeline

I met a ten year old boy today with that name. I was really surprised to see it on a boy!
I like it a lot ... even more now that the Eden I am acquainted with is growing up. Well, she's four.
It never made me think of the bible because I didn't study the bible, and I went to school with an Eden as a child. So I thought of it as a girl's name more than a place. It gives me a dreamy outdoorsy paganish vibe like Maeve or Deirdre, but it's crisper, tidier. It doesn't strike me as pretty, really... it's more of a strong name to me.

I kind of like it, but it sounds kind of tacky. I also like it as a middle name on a boy.

I read a book with a boy named Eden once, so I actually kind of like it on a boy too :)

It's too Biblical for me but it's pretty.
Not in my garden. I am not a fan of this name as it is tacky to me.
