[Opinions] Re: Eden
in reply to a message by Lily
It's too biblical for my taste, but a very educated, religious guy I went to highschool with is having a baby next week (well, his wife is), and they are naming their daughter Eden. I thought it was a lovely choice for them, and so much better to hear than all the Madisons and Addisons and Gracies and Kaylyns that we've had in the Southern U.S. lately.

I'm a twentysomething Eden (trailblazer! hahaha), and while it's definitely rising in popularity, I just can't see it taking an Ava/Isabella turn and making the top ten... ever, really. I've always found it the perfect blend of simple (people rarely have difficulty pronouncing or spelling it) and exotic- I only know of one other Eden in my age range (a friend's younger sister), and a handful of babies/people who plan on using it on future daughters. Overall, I've greatly enjoyed having it as a name!
