I've been thinking about this lately, mainly for the purpose of naming a fictional character who, while I will probably never write about him, I have officially given the name Nicholas Eden. Well-known, masculine first name with a more unusual and ambiguous middle name :)

Nicholas Eden is pretty great. I absolutely agree it would work best with a classic first name and then something like Eden in the middle. I can't imagine a little boy named Eden, even with my preferred pronunciation so in the middle he'll stay.
