Eden and Seanacompared on official birth-registration statistics and Namewise's recorded data. This page states what each name's record shows — it never picks a winner or scores one name against the other.
Head to head

Eden and Seana over time
Eden and Seana appear together in 3 published lists, across 44 years of shared records. Eden held the stronger position in more years in 2 of them, Seana in 1.
The order between them changed and held in one of those lists — a change in that published list, never a claim that one name displaced the other.
Seana reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 3 of those lists, and Eden in none. Each position is a place inside its own list, so this compares when they peaked and never how high.
Counted list by list. Two names in the same published list are measured on the same scale in the same year, so those comparisons are real — but positions from different lists are not, so nothing here is combined into an overall standing.
