I love the name and have for years. I much prefer it for a girl and had we been pregnant with a girl first time around, Eden would have most probably been her name. I still love it.

I like it on either gender, but prefer it on a boy.

Thank you for all your responses!

But I would like to know if it is similar to the name Edith

Because I dont really like it.

But the nickname Edie works!

I wouldn't even compare it to Edith because Eden sounds bright and fun and nice and Edith sounds old and frumpy to me... and kinda ugly- though a little bit better than Ethel.

I don't think it's similar to Edith, except that you can use the nn Edie.
I like Edith a little more than Eden, but Eden is more my real-life style I think.
I would not put Eden and Edith in the same "style category."

I agree with that - Eden and Edith don't seem to be the same style, even though they sound pretty similar.
I do prefer Eden though.

I like it, ever since I knew an Eden when I was in grade school.

I love it...... on a BOY!

On a girl.... Eh, it's boring and verging on trendy, imho

It sets my teeth on edge and I don't quite know why...

I do like the sound of it very much. But I fear it comes across as a soap opera character, a bad girl. If it rises in popularity then some of that may lessen; it may become more mainstream. Something like Edina has a better chance of still sounding fresh over time.

Eden Victoria is my stock combination for it.

I really like this name at the minute, it's one of my favourites :)

I quite like Edie for a nn too.

How could I have forgotten my favorite part of the name, nn Eden? *forehead slap*

Love, love Edie. :-)

I actually really like it. It's very pretty. It doesn't have the "stripper" qualities a name like Heaven tends to gain.
