Hi All,

Really struggling with baby boy names. What do you think of Warren?

The only two Warrens I have known have been really quiet, studious types, and all-round nice guys. I like it!

I know one in his 40s o I used to not like it but I don't mind it now

It's not a dreadful name by any means but he might get called bunny at school. The only Warren I've ever heard of is Warren Beatty but I'm showing my age and nobody else here will know who I'm talking about.

Not for me. It's not aged well imo.

It's the old joke; What do you call a man with 15 rabbits up his bum? Or the Warren at school was nicknamed Peace

Makes me think of Warren G mid 90s rapper, not a bad thing, I still sing along in car when I hear it. I don't think the name has been popular enough to sound that dated, use it if you like it. I think it's quite nice to reference your family name.

You could use it as a first or middle name. It didn't do Warren Beatty any harm.

Thanks everyone.
It is actually my mums maiden name. I have my dads surname, but he has no wider family, I have only ever known my mums side so there is that connection there.
As a first name, it’s like most other boys names I hear. Don’t hate it, don’t love it…
this is so hard!

Seems more of a surname than a first name. I know a nice one but he's in his 70s.

There's better boy names out there!

Moreteaandchocolate · 19/04/2024 11:23

I knew one who would be in his 40’s now. He wasn’t very nice so I’ve got bad associations! But that’s just a personal thing!

AlpineMuesli · 19/04/2024 11:08

Went to school with two of them. One was a Warryn, if that helps.
You'll get loads of 'oh rabbit warren' comments but with Ren as a nn option it seems fine to me.

I know one in his 50s. Not keen sorry.
