Wren

VeryGood · 27/08/2012 18:39

I vote Faith as well.

bubalou · 27/08/2012 18:38

Faith. Love this name Grin

fanjodisfunction · 27/08/2012 18:16

I really wanted Wren. I knew of one in Wales her name was Renee but went by Ren.

I thought of using Karenza and having nn Wren. (dh wasnt keen)

HalleLouja · 27/08/2012 18:10

Wren

LondonInBoots · 27/08/2012 18:09

I love them both, but would probably go for Faith over Wren, or just cheat and have Faith Wren Grin

Florizel · 23/08/2012 22:09

Faith is beautiful. I like names that have lots of connotations and it looks pretty written down.

PunkyPod · 23/08/2012 21:25

My dd's middle name is Wren. Beautiful Smile

TeamGB2012 · 17/08/2012 18:12

Call her Jennifer, and nickname Wren

SoupDragon · 17/08/2012 13:29

:)

crocodilesmiles · 17/08/2012 13:17

Oh, SoupDragon, just seen your above post about Wren being her nickname. I bet it's Seren. Smile Lovely name!

crocodilesmiles · 17/08/2012 13:05

SoupDragon, you've got me all curious now. Of course, you don't have to tell me but what is your dd's name? Is it something with a similar sound?.... Is it Verity?Smile

SoupDragon · 17/08/2012 12:44

If you call your child Serenity you will end up with the loudest, boisterous child ever. :)

DDs name isn't Serenity but I used to explain her name as "Like Serenity only much much louder."

crocodilesmiles · 17/08/2012 12:41

Oh, I really like both.

I think Wren will be one of those names that will really grow in popularity, and be much more well known in ten years time.

Faith is lovely
Just a thought but what do you think of Serenity with the nickname Ren. I love the meaning...Peaceful, calm, untroubled...Just the kind of life I would wish for my little one x

squoosh · 17/08/2012 12:33

I really don't like Faith although it seems to be really popular all of a sudden. I just don't like virtue names.

Wren is pretty though although maybe the Ren/Renee is a better option to prevent bum achingly boring conversations 'No, it's a W not an R'.

trilottie · 17/08/2012 09:26

Wren! It will be my bump's middle name in a few weeks :) I love it.

Dogsmom · 17/08/2012 08:43

I prefer Faith too, people with probably think Wren is a nn and she'll be forever saying 'Wren - as in the bird'
My friends name is Renee which is always shortened to Ren.

SoupDragon · 17/08/2012 07:47

DD is a Wren but it is only her nickname. I don't like it as a given name at all.

She is so not a tiny, drab songbird so its a good job really.

exoticfruits · 17/08/2012 07:44

Faith.

buttercrumble · 17/08/2012 07:41

Love Faith, never really heard of Wren for a girl but really like it. I would probably go for Wren its more unusual......

TheEnglishWomanInTheAttic · 17/08/2012 07:37

Marian that is a good point, I once taught a ahem, very plum indeed Ariel ... Hmm Luckily the other kids hadn't made a connection, but as her parents were both big people too, meaning their daughter had a good chance of not being an ethereal, willowy sprite, there were a few "What were they thinking, poor girl" type comments in the staff room ...

anairofhopeFORGOLD · 16/08/2012 22:13

Another vote for Wren :)

kissmyheathenass · 16/08/2012 22:09

My dd2 has Faith as her middle name - I love the name despite me being an athiest.

Wren is also very lovely. I know someone who has a Wren. Very cute.

TeamGB2012 · 16/08/2012 22:08

Wren
