Neither. It's a bird's name.

I knew a boy called Wren/Ren ( it was his full, christened name but I'm not sure of spelling) he would be about 40 now

pinkmagic1 · 29/04/2009 17:41

Girls, to feminine for a boy.

Have to say, seeker, I don't think it's really for you to beg someone not to use a name she might like...

(as it happens, the OP didn't ask for opinions!)

Girl's - but if you have to ask, don't use it.

PLEASE don't call a boy Wren - it's cruel.

Haven't heard of Wren, but Ren is unisex - Ren & Stimpy (male) and there's a female Ren in one of the American teen sitcoms.

my ds2 is small and cute!

I think it could be either. I like it for a boy.

wotsits · 29/04/2009 17:22

I think girl, as in jenny wren.

wickerman · 29/04/2009 17:22

well it's small and cute so suggests femaleness jenny wren etc

LauriefairycakeeatsCupid · 29/04/2009 17:21

I have never heard of this name before and it's not in my 1000 baby names book

so it may be quite rare

ramonaquimby · 29/04/2009 17:21

would say girl

TrillianAstra · 29/04/2009 17:20

girl

TheOtherMaryPoppinsDiets · 29/04/2009 17:20

Unisex

WorzselMummage · 29/04/2009 17:20

I'd have thought a Girls name.

It's really pretty

hf128219 · 29/04/2009 17:20

Well I would say a girl.
