Eden or Embry?
Which of the names Eden or Embry do you like better for a girl? Thanks!ETA: No I am not expecting again lol. However, my husband said we can try for another in the future. As long as we financial can do so. So I was going through girl names just incase. We have also thought about possible adoption in the future. Probably international like China. So I am going through girl names at the moment. Thanks! I have gone through plenty of boy names haha. I'm a planner lol haha.Also, other name opinion ideas are welcome. :)

I'm not a huge fan of Eden, but I'd definitely choose that one since Embry = embryo to me (it's something you call the baby before it's born, like Peanut or Bean).

Definitely Eden... on either gender. Embry doesn't really do it for me... sounds like there should be an o on the end o f the word.If you're thinking of China and adoption, the name Yo Mei uses the characters for friend/together and beautiful... same kanji combos exist in Korean and Jpns. as well for girls' names, but w/ slightly different prn... just in case that random info was of interest to you.

Definitely Eden. I just prefer the sound of it and I also prefer it with the names of your boys.

Eden. Though it's not my favorite, I like it much better than Embyr. I don't care for Ember as a name, it's just a cool sounding word. I know someone who has a granddaughter named Ember and I cringed when I heard it. Embyr is worse since I find the Kre8tyv spellings very silly.

Eden! LOVE the name Eden for a girl. Had Jasper been a girl instead, I'm 99% sure we would have gone with Eden.

I'm guessing you've gotten this a few times, but Embry is awfully close to embryo. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't mind the name. So on that alone, I'd say Eden.Have you considered Ember?

I prefer Embry, which surprises me, but it has a more girly feel to it than Eden

Eden, no contest. Embry sounds all gimmicked up, like the name of a department store cafe, or a trendy shape of hat. It's def not a girl name IMO. Eden is nice, though, I like it. For some reason I think it sounds warm and calm.To make it interesting, I wonder: Eden or Ember? that would be much harder to pick, because I like Ember.

I dislike both. Eden is too religious for me, and Embry just reminds me of embryo. I guess if I had to pick it would be Eden.

I don't particularly like either, but if I have to choose, I say Eden is the way to go. Embry reminds me, way too much, of the word embryo.

A thousand times Eden. Embry is WAY too trendy for me. Eden is soft and pretty.

Eden. While I don't automatically think of embryo like most of the other posters, I don't like the sound of Embry.

Definitely Eden. Embry reminds me of the word "embryo."

Eden for a girl, and Embry for a boy.
So that's my answer. :)

I don't like either one, but at least Eden doesn't sound like an embryo.

Eden. With Embry, it's like what are you trying to mean? Ember? Embryo (like others posted)? Emory board for filing nails?

Definitely Eden. Embry just screams "embryo" to me (in fact, when I went to type Embry, I accidently typed embryo). Eden is much better with your boys' names as well.
