I might try a longer middle name with [name_u]Eden[/name_u]. [name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] was the first combo that came to mind. But [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] might be a little too perennially popular for your taste. Maybe one of these…

[name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Persephone[/name_f]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Estella[/name_f]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Amalia[/name_f]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Adriana[/name_f]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Araminta[/name_f]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Cecelia[/name_f]

Of these, [name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] may be my favorite.

I just think ‘garden of’ but there wasn’t an option for that. :wink:

I used to love it, but all I hear now is ‘eat-in’. Not all that nice haha. [name_f]Edie[/name_f] is a sweet nn though (EE-dee). [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Edie[/name_f] or [name_f]Edith[/name_f] instead?

For middles I used to love:

[name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Juliana[/name_f]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Juliette[/name_f]

[name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_u]Eden[/name_u]
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_u]Eden[/name_u]
[name_f]Marissa[/name_f] [name_u]Eden[/name_u]

I’m not a fan of [name_u]Eden[/name_u], sorry! It’s okay, but I just don’t love it. If you want to use it as a first name, I agree with @freya_1983, it needs a longer middle.

[name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]

[name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]

I had a rather incompetent male boss many years ago who’s name was [name_u]Eden[/name_u].

I don’t think it’s all that bad, I honestly prefer it to [name_f]Edith[/name_f], but I couldn’t use it.

I agree that it’s much nicer with a longish classic middle name. I like the suggestion of [name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Arianna[/name_f].

I love the nn [name_f]Edie[/name_f] and would probably use it often if this is ever a girl name we use. I really despise the sound of [name_f]Edith[/name_f] though…definitely prefer [name_u]Eden[/name_u].

Of your suggestions, [name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] sings to me! :slight_smile:

I adore [name_u]Eden[/name_u] clementine!! I would totally use [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] as a 1st name. I also love [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] and have it on my list as a 1st name. [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] is pretty too, but I don’t enjoy actually saying the name. Thanks - I like a lot from this list!

I know a girl named [name_u]Eden[/name_u]. She’s about 22-23. I don’t know what her MN is, but she is super bubbly, confident, smokes, a bit of a bad girl, but cares a lot about the people around her.

I like it a lot on a boy.

I like [name_f]Violet[/name_f] a lot! So much that I want to switch it and say [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_u]Eden[/name_u]. But then it’s a color and a place name… I run into this issue a lot with wanting to pair 2 nature names or color names, etc.

P.S. I saw you have the name [name_m]Ephraim[/name_m] in your list and I NEVER see that so I had to comment that it’s on mine too! :slight_smile:
