Is it a boy or a girl name?
| Thu, 05-27-2004 - 2:10pm |
I am pregnant with twins. I have no idea what sex they are yet, I am only four months along. I really like the name Eden for a boy... Is it more of a girls name? I also like the name Madison for a boy, and in my baby names book it says it is a boys name. On the baby name finder at ivillage, it says it is a girls name. Is Madison a boys name or a girls or BOTH? I know Madison is a bit over done and really popular, but I think for twins it would be cute to have them named Eden and Madison for boys. My first son's name is Emery.

Eden & Madison are totally girl names though. It would be so cruel to name your son Madison along with the 5 other little GIRLS in his class named this. That name is soooo popular. Eden is very nice for a girl. It wouldn't be as bad as Madison, but it's still nmsaa.
I have twin girls, Alyssa & Allison. It was so tough coming up with names. It took me until about 2 weeks before they came. I say keep looking and you will find nice, masculine names if they turn out to be boys. If they turn out to be 2 girls, then it looks like you have the names picked out already.

In 2003, Eden was the 340th most popular name for U.S. born baby girls; it doesn't make the charts for boys. (I do like a previous poster's suggestion to consider Aidan instead!)
In 2003, Madison was the 3rd most popular name for U.S. born baby girls; it's been in the top 10 in popularity for girls' names since 1997 (and it's been top 100 since 1993). Surprisingly, Madison does make the popularity list for boys' names, coming in at #893 in 2003... talk about a lot of boys who will be angry at having Madison for a name in a class full of girls named Madison.
