What do you think of Wren for a boys name?
We live in the UK and haven’t met anyone with the name.

is the name Wren more for girls?

I know two, both girls, but think it works for both.

I know two boys called Wren, one a toddler and one an older teenager. It's a lovely name and suits them both.

Wouldn’t be my choice

We have a little boy called Wren in our family, now nearly 2. Everyone was quite surprised when the name was announced but it actually really suits him.

I know a boy who has it as a nickname for Lawrence - would that work?

Just remember-what is a sweet charming name for a baby or even a toddler doesn't work so well for a teenager, a corporate lawyer, a truck driver or an old man. Don't make life any harder for your child than it is already!

It's better that Tit, I suppose.

Nicole Richie’s son is Sparrow I think. Just another option.

I know two, both girls.

I know 3 wrens (all toddlers). All girls.

I wouldn’t use it for a boys name personally

It's definitely a girl's name in the UK

According to Darker Green

But to be honest first and foremost it's a kitchen brand.

It's a nice surname. Dreadful as a first name. Lovely birds but tiny and loud.
