Iben is also a unisex Dutch given name, as a feminine form or variant of Ib, and/or a derivation of the Dutch word ebonholt meaning "ebony". And, Iben is also used as a masculine given name in Dutch, Danish, and Norwegian, alongside Ib. However, Iben is more common for females. So, I think that the "Gender" of this name should be updated from "Feminine" to "Feminine & Masculine"; the " Usage" of this name should be updated to read, "Dutch, Danish, Norwegian"; and the "Meaning & History" section of this name should be updated to read, "Possibly a feminine form or variant of Ib. It is associated with Dutch ebonholt and Danish ibenholt meaning 'ebony'. A known male bearer of this name was Iben Browning, an American businessman.Sources: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iben_Browning https://forebears.io/x/forenames/iben https://www.names.org/n/iben/about https://babynames.com/name/Iben https://www.gpeters.com/names/baby-names.php?name=Iben
Iben Bia is one of the characters players must save in the video game Balan Wonderworld. She is a girl who loses her parents and is so stricken with grief that she calls off her own wedding, resulting in her level being ice themed to represent how she has frozen her heart to the world.
I don't like this name. I have an uncle called Ib and I never knew that there was a feminine version. I think it sounds more masculine than feminine. Not a great fan.Jeg kan ikke lide denne navn. Jeg har en onkel som hedder Ib og jeg viste aldrig at der var en pige version. Jeg synes at det lyder mere som en drengenavn. Jeg er ikke en stor fan.
