HelpRe: Eden?
in reply to a message by aussiechic04
I believe the meaning listed on this site is actually incorrect. *Looks around waiting for rocks to be thrown* I have scoured sites for Hebrew names and checked the meanings on those sites and the most common meaning given is actually delight. Pleasure is also mentioned, but delight is the meaning that is regarded as "the" meaning. I agree that it is seen as "trendy Biblical", but more so amongst name nerds. That put me off a little, as I like to choose more unusual names for my kids, but it's certainly not crazy popular either. The general public find it fresh and beautiful. We have had so many compliments when we tell people our DD's name. Eden was one of the names that DH and I agreed on and have loved consistently since we were expecting our first child. Actually I believe it was on our list before we even conceived!

I like it much better IRL than when it comes up on the Message Boards hypothetically. When you were looking for names for your daughter, I tried to always answer as I'd react in real life. I think it's beautiful sounding, ages well, has a cute nickname option, isn't common but it's a recognizable and pronounceable name- and I think you picked a great one. I'd definitely imagine that you do get lots of compliments on it in real life :)

Interesting that it has an alternate (?) meaning. To be honest I've never looked for it other than on BtN. Thanks for the info!
