[Opinions] Re: Eden
in reply to a message by Lily
I adore the name Eden! Had our first child been a girl instead of a boy, I'm 99% sure we would have gone with Eden. I've always loved it, I think it has a lovely sound. DH took a little while to get used to it, but now it's his fave girl name!
I don't find it trashy and while it has gained in popularity here in Australia, I'm hoping it doesn't get too popular!
I picture a happy friendly type of girl, who quite likes the out-doors and gardens and loves art. I always picture the colour green when I think of this name, but that's probably because of the Garden of Eden I would imagine.
All in all, I love it! Oh and I love that I could use the nn Edie, as I love that name too. I just couldn't use it as a given name, since there's an Arabic word (DH can speak Arabic & members of his family do) which sounds similar and means hand!
