HelpRe: Eden for a boy?
in reply to a message by whim
Eden "ee-den," or pronounced like Edward??
I love Eden (long E) on a boy. It was in my top 10 for awhile and I'd still use it. I tend to prefer to spell it Edan.
There's a long-running male anchorman in my area named Eden Shultz who has to be in his 40s. Also, I think I girl I went to high school with has an older brother named Eden, her name is Lark.
Eden Gabriel
Eden Marshall
Eden Robert
Eden Thatcher
Eden Richard
Eden Harris
Eden Frederick
Eden Samuel
Eden Patrick
Eden Silas

I'd pronounce it ED-en, like Edward. Or, like Edwin without the W.
That's so interesting! Mireio also knows a male Eden and mentioned another Eden. It's quite a surprise to see it actually being used.
Eden and Lark sounds so modern, it's strange to think you went to school at the same time as one. But I went to school with girls named things like Allegra, Tabitha, Madeline, Violet, etc. So, sometimes those things just happen.
Eden Harris is kind of awesome and is making me reconsider my ED-en pronunciation.
Thank you!

I'm not so fond of it pronounced with a soft "E," and feel like you'd have a tough time getting others to pronounce it that way, but it does make it seem more plausible on a boy. Maybe you could spell it Edin? It's not a bad sound but my mind goes immediately to Edinburgh

Edin's not bad but Edinburgh does come to mind for me as well. To get my desired pronunciation there are definitely some kinks to work out.
