I mean, I don't think it's too hard to understand why you're posting this. It's to show there's a reason behind naming your kid something a lot of people react to as "tacky," that you're not just some dummy.

I doubt I'd name my kid Heaven, but it's better than Nevaeh... and Eden gets tossed around on this board a lot, and taken seriously, so...

Eden is seriously a decent name. It's not aspirational seeming like Heaven - it's sort of like Elysium (which you enthused about recently?) or Cherith ( http://www.behindthename.com/submit/name/cherith ). And it has been used a lot, so I think people accept it as a name more readily than Heaven.

Nevaeh is better than Heaven, IMO, by the way.

I don't think Heaven is so different from Elysium or Eden. They're all aspirational. Eden and Elysium are just past-oriented-deluded rather than future-oriented-deluded.

"Deluded" is because I'm in the foulest of moods today.

Eden and Elysia are only literary. Heaven is meant more ... uh, literally? So to speak.

Sorry about your mood. May "heavenly grace" seem to rain down on you today (not Heaven Lee Grace though - she's a hellion).

Oh. I guess if I were thinking about Eden and Elysia (I know a girl named this! She's a harpist) I'd definitely be doing it with a lot of real arcadian imagery!

I think the difference is that nobody here is using the combo Garden Eden Rose.
