As in the title . Would you use Wren for a girl or boy ?

Wren is a surname and commonly used as a girls name now.
It would be fine as a second name for a boy, I think, used like many surnames are used as second names.

I'd say Wren is female, Ren could be either.

Girl

I like the name, but the actual bird is tiny, bland, brown bird. Just something to keep in mind.

The only Wren I know is a boy but I think it's more commonly associated with girls.

It’s a girls name.

Girls name x

I would think girl.
But not be overly surprised by a boy.

Sex. You mean sex. And it’s overwhelmingly used for girls.

I think it’s a girls name. A delicate girls name. It’s not sturdy.
