I really don't like that as a name. I don't know...maybe it's because it's a commonly used word in our language. If it was some other language and it sounded completely different but meant the same thing, then I might think it was a good name. But naming a child Heaven, to me, is like naming her Keychain or Book. There are a lot of nature names that are commonly used words, so I don't really know why it bothers me like that. It just does.

It comes off as a tacky when used as a name, imo. Sorry.

I'm Christian, too, but I think the fn Heaven sounds cheap. But that's just my opinion, affected by all the Heavens I have known. There are so many beautiful biblical names. As a mn, I think it could work, especially when paired with a biblical fn.

So I suppose Heaven Onearth, Heaven Knows, Heaven Helpus, Heaven Canwait, and Heaven Sent are all out, too?

Honestly, if you really like the name, that's that (I'm hardly going to mock, considering the word names I like), but I'd relegate it to the middle name spot. I can think of many more puns on Heaven than just those ones, and so will everyone else. The name won't seem as trendy if you put it in the middle spot, IMO--it'll be more of a "Look what a nice name I thought about for you" kind of deal. (Plus, even if it's in the middle name spot, you can still sing her the hundreds of songs that involve her name!)

I don't know what style of names you like, so this probably won't help any.

I think Heaven is a nice sentiment but not a good name for a child. I am Christian, too, and would never consider this name. I think names like Faith, Hope, and Grace are MUCH prettier than Heaven. Also, Hannah, Ruth, Elizabeth, Mary, Sarah, Rebekah, Lydia, and Magdalene are all beautiful Biblical names. Or what about Christine, which has "Christ" in the name?
