When you hear the name Eden do you think of a boy or a girl? Yesterday I had a patient and I automatically assumed it was a boy because of the name, but it was a girl, I just want to hear what others think when they hear it.

Girl!

It's super feminine to me, mainly because one of Marcia Cross's daughters is called Eden =).

I thought 'boy' at first, but when I actually thought about it, thought 'girl'.

I've only ever met one Eden and he was male, so I would think boy first.

Girl.

I do know a boy with this name, but his is spelled Edan.

I think girl. I know a boy by this name (he's 8 or 9) but I know two adult women and a little girl named this as well, so I see it as unisex, leaning female.

Girl!! absolutely!!
I've known one and it's also a character on Nip/Tuck season 5.
Plus, it's the name of the byblical garden, and fruits and flowers are feminine symbols.

I know a girl named Eden (20-something) and a boy named Eden (5). The boy has a brother named Canaan, so they go together. I would assume Eden was a girl, though.

Girl. I've never met a male Eden, though when I first heard of the name Aiden on a boy, I thought it was Eden.

i automatically think of a female and i have no explanation why.

I think girl. Eden's a garden, all botanical and flowery, that's why I make the association.

It's never even registered to me that it could possibly be a boy's name. It's all girl to me.

I've only known female Edens. I didn't realize it could be a boy name!

Girl. Oh my gosh, girl. It is so not masculine at all.

A boy's name? Really?

Eden is a girl's name. Definitely.

Sounds like a girl's name to me. :)

Yeah the Garden of Eden, I've never heard of it as a boy's name before.
