Would it be wrong to call dd this?

Pregnant with dd. The only names dh and I can really agree on are Wren or Willow. I think these are beautiful names but based on genetics she is unlikely to be wrenlike or willowy (think more brick shit house). Should I stear clear or am I over thinking it?

I wouldn't use either of those for the same reason. Willow is the better choice of the two though. Are you sure there are no other names you could both agree on?

I would steer clear of names which imply any physical attributes. We didn't use Grace or Willow for this reason, even though we loved the names.

Both are fine!

One of the Jenny names (there are LOADS) Wren as a nn. Renata nn isn't too much of a stretch either.

Wren is awful, no matter what your physical appearance.

Dislike Wren.

Wouldn't use Willow for someone likely to be stocky.

Sorry for the negativity!

PS: I really like Wren

Mmm I would steer clear of Willow for a potential non-willow I think.

Just like I steered away from Grace for similar reasons. Grin

Lol. I think Willow is a much better choice than Wren, which I think she would get teased mercilessly for

I like Willow, and there are various meanings of that word so you should be alright Smile
