Do they have any nicknames for her? Like Wrennie or?

Oh that makes it even worse... indigestion medication!

Love the name. But agree it's hard with the middle name, doesn't roll off the tongue right. Rosalie maybe?

umpteennamechanges · 12/11/2018 21:01

Personally I don't like it.

I agree with PP that it's the name of a tiny little boring brown pecking bird.

Two monosyllabic words, tricky? Really?

I’m not keen but it does usually seem well-liked on mn

PinkAvocado · 12/11/2018 19:47

That’s tricky to say!

If I do choose Wren, middle name will be Rose.

Wren Rose

figelnarage · 12/11/2018 18:08

@sylviec No nickname - yet

stellarfox · 12/11/2018 17:59

I really dislike it and any bird names. I’m not sure why but I just find them really unattractive, but I’m in the minority!

Talith · 12/11/2018 17:28

I like it.

CarolDanvers · 12/11/2018 17:25

It's a name everyone loves on MN but would get Hmm at in RL. I find it rather twee and cutesy, like Daisy.

Haha I don't even know if I'll have a girl! I'm not pregnant again yet!

Love it! Gutted it wouldn't work with my surname! (For the imaginary 4th baby I'm not having!)

Although the Wren bird is small etc, the name itself is rather solid. I'm not so worried about how big or small the child ends up

I think it's beautiful! However, in line with PPs, the reason I didn't choose the name Grace was that I didn't want to bestow a delicate name on a child that might become a strapping 6 footer (I'm tall).

The protagonist is called Wren.

And in Wolf Brother there is a girl called Renn.

TheWiseWomansFear · 12/11/2018 17:08

Have you read the wren chase?

One of my friends named her DD Wren last year. I don't love it but don't hate it.

PtangyangkipperbangOi · 12/11/2018 16:59

Wren makes me think of kitchens and radio adverts , sorry!
