Autumn Wren - please tell me it's ok?

[LovedByAll]

Baby girl is 4 weeks old. We love Autumn Wren. Is it just too 'Yankee'?

[DorotheaHomeAlone]

One or the other, please. That sounds like a breed name.

[MrsUnderwood]

It's beautiful. I love nature names and it conjures up lovely images in my head.

[HopperBusTicket]

Personally I think either is fine but together they are a bit much and do sound like a pedigree dog or horse. Sorry. But in the end it's whether you like it. If Wren is a middle name it will rarely be used anyway.

[LovedByAll]

Yeah, Wren would be the middle name. Seems like mixed views...

[GerundTheBehemoth]

There is an American species of bird called Winter Wren (scientific name Troglodytes hlemalis). But you are OK with Autumn Wren.

[Gallavich]

Too much. Neither are commonly used as names which is fine per se but both together is excessive.

[BeBe2017]

Autumn is in the top 150! It's definitely getting popular.

I think it's nice, OP.

[OutDamnedWind]

I love it, but think it would probably be a bit 'too much' for me to use it in real life.

Then again, middle names are hardly used...

[pizzaparty]

I think it's gorgeous

[MollyHuaCha]

It's an amazing name for a highly successful actor, singer, author, Wimbledon winner. It's an embarrassing name for a teacher, soldier, barrister, shop assistant, accounts manager...

[ElspethFlashman]

I know a Wren. Everyone likes it, even the grandparents.

Autumn isn't my fave though. It is a bit American, somehow.

[Soubriquet]

I like it

Really pretty

[howtheheckdoidealwiththis]

I think it's a beautiful name.

[UsedToBeAPaxmanFan]

Honestly? I think it's a bit too much. But if Wren is the middle name them most people won't know that she's even called that once she's older. Autumn is ok, I know a couple of Autumns, it's not that unusual.

Your baby, your choice.

[RenovatingHouseWithKids]

Love it!

[Namechangenurseryconcerns]

I like the name Autumn but I don't think I would use it for a winter baby.
Although I guess 4 weeks ago was technically still Autumn?

[MrsBungle]

Love both names.

[LovedByAll]

Yes, technically still Autumn

[Motherwithflaws]

Love wren, not keen on autumn

[LovedByAll]

Not to be rude, but not fussed if Autumn is liked, we love it just needed to know if the names could work together.

[ofhorse]

How could you call her autumn if she was born in December? Love wren though... but my dd was over 11lbs when she was born so hardly the smallest songbird I went for my no 2 choice!

[EssentialHummus]

I really like it.

[thegirlinthecar]

I love both of these names. I think if they were hyphenated it would definitely be a bit much but as a middle name I say go for it.

[Out2pasture]

I too thought the post was going to be about birds....
I love both names together it's a bit to "hippy" for me reminiscent of Moon Lovechild type names.
