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.

To be honest, both Eden and Madison scream "girls" to me. I know one Eden, and she's a she. Even w/o knowing her, it sounds decidly feminine. Madison may well have started as a boy's name, but if you look at the stats. on the social security lists, you will see thousands of people are naming their girls Madison--not their boys.

I like the name Eden, so it's not that I'm against the name in general, but I think you should wait til you have a boy to use it. Madison I don't like for either gender, but if you do, I still think you should wait for a girl.

I hate to be the poster of bad news but NO!!!! If you do end up having GIRLS than the names are PERFECT. However, for two boys I think it would be a cruel and humiliating joke to name them Eden and Maddison. Sorry to be so negative, but TRUST ME they would HATE it!
