Baby here, arrived fast and 3 weeks early. No names picked out. DH wants Wren. What do folk think?

I like either classic/ old lady or modern unusual (Persephone, Ophelia, Ada, Eden).

We haven't announced it yet and are currently giving it a try.

They make kitchens. I'm not a fan

I don't like it, sorry. Tiny, nondescript, overlooked brown bird - known for being...tiny. I don't see why you'd name a child after it. OK as a nickname for a small child only. There are better bird names if you want one. How about Merle? (French/Scottish for blackbird).

I quite like it too and I usually prefer more traditional names.

I like it. It sounds elegant and arty.

I like it too!

I love it. Wren works with a large range of personalities, is beautiful on a baby, cute on a child, lovely on a teen, and sensible on an adult.

I like it. Sweet but sparky!

The king of birds!

OK; but what if she turns out to be very large- the name will make her ridiculous?

Gorgeous!

I think it is a beautiful name. I know only one, and she is beautiful and intelligent and sensitive in an arty kind of way.

Reminds me of Mick Jaggers ex who commit suicide although her name was L'Wren I think
