I like it - have never heard of it

Rachmumoftwo · 01/04/2009 20:40

I think it is really pretty

janeite · 01/04/2009 20:27

Oh it's gorgeous! I wish I'd thought of it!

I think it's charming.

An ex colleague had a little boy called Wren.

I like it. No crazier than Robin. Plus The Wrens!

Renata or Renee with nn Wren a good idea if you're not quite sure about putting it on the bc

SoupDreggon · 01/04/2009 18:23

DD's nickname is Wren (amongst others!) but it's not her name.

MrsHappy · 01/04/2009 18:22

TBH it wouldn't be my choice because birds creep me out ( ridiculous but true...)

If I wanted the sound I would probably go for something like Renata or Serena and then end up calling her "Ren".

PrimulaVeris · 01/04/2009 18:20

Later in life men of a certain type will refer to her as a "Bird"

Until that day it's tweet

i just today finished a book with a 'wren' as one of three main protagonists.

she called herself 'rennie' in the book.

so beware - you kid could potentially be a heartburn remedy

Mick Jagger's gf is L'Wren which I like a lot, and hate at the same time. Works well when you say it (doesn't have the ren/Wren problem)

Lawks · 01/04/2009 18:14

I like it.

It will always be spelt 'Ren' as people will assume it's short for Renata or something like that.

fruitshootsnweaveseasterbasket · 01/04/2009 18:03

people will ask what it is short for...I would.

However all my names are very traditional. if you like it then go for it.
