Common questions
What are good middle names for Eden?
Start with Abigail, which scored highest against Eden, then Ariella, Avery, Naomi, Alana. 5 of these five have a different number of syllables from Eden, and a change of length is one of the main things the score looks for.
Should the middle name for Eden be short or long?
Eden has 2 syllables. A one-syllable middle name such as Ari keeps it quick and crisp. Middle names of three or more syllables (Abigail, Ariella, Avery) make it sound fuller and a little more formal. Match it to your last name: a short last name goes with a longer middle name, and the other way around.
What initials should you avoid with Eden?
Before you settle, put the first, middle and last initials side by side and read them as a word. If they spell something, pick again. None of the 24 middle names on this page start with "E" like Eden does, because a repeated first letter costs points here.
How were these middle names for Eden chosen?
The rankings and baby counts are the US government's own figures, from the Social Security Administration. The score next to each name is not — it is ours, and it only measures how well that name sits after Eden.
