Boy Names!
I'm 27wks pregnant with my 1st and since we first found out we were having a boy we decided on "Eden" personally I liked "Aiden" but hubby preferred Eden and I so did i.. Every time he talks to my belly he calls him "Eden" But now I'm second guessing it. I talk to him constantly and every time i feel him I try to call him by the name we decided initially but it doesn't feel natural. I don't think It fits him. Can you guys help me with come up w another name ?? I have a baby name brain fart ! Lol

When my hubby and I decided on a name , I felt the same way. Wasn't 100%, even though I liked it. But after my son was born, one look at him and we knew we chose right. His name fits him perfectly. Go with your original gut instincts

I like Aidan a lot better to me Eden sounds like a girls name

Eden is a girl's name. Think of the garden of Eden where Eve is tricked by the serpent to eat the fruit. What about Ian , Israel, Jace, Ethan, Brice, Keegan

Eden is feminine to me, I've never heard it as a male name, only for girls.
That being said, I also didn't click with my son's name. I would even say I regretted it until he was like 2 years old, but now I'm really starting to love it, it fits him so well. So I do think it's ok not to be 100% in love with a name, it's not always a "omg that's the perfect name!" moment for everyone, sometimes it takes some getting used to.
Some other suggestions based on Eden and Aiden:
Roman
Kaegan (kay-gan)
Roarke (nickname Rory)
Kellan
Or maybe your husband would like Aeden better, that way it still has Eden in it.

Eden was the 151st most popular name for girls last year. Not in the top 1000 for boys. I've never heard it used for a boy. I'd steer clear. Or use it as a middle name, since your husband likes it so much.

I think of a little girl when I hear Eden. But here are some names I was considering if I was having a boy: Darrien
kyran
Keegan
Tyus
Talon
Elijah
Alijah
Josiah
Malachi

I've never thought of it as feminine honestly. It doesn't sound like a girl's name to be at all BUTTTT I'll use that as an excuse to see if hubby will budge lol

I like Eden for a boy. Maybe spelling it Edan would be more masculine though.

My DH has a good friend called Eden. He is a great guy, I have never thought of the name as feminine.
I think spelling it Edan does not work, but that's me. .

I would personally choose Eden over Aiden, just because it seems like half of boys bring born today are being named Aiden or something that rhymes with it (Caiden, Braydon, Jayden...). I don't find it feminine, but maybe putting a strong, obviously masculine middle name with it would help if you're concerned.

Sorry, but it is a girl's name. I would select a similar name that is typically given to boys.

How about just tweaking Eden to
Ethan?
Have you asked hubs what names he likes?
If you can give 5 -7 names you like and he does I'm sure we can tweak the names or use a combination name to fit both of you Perrrfectly!!!
