Anyone fancy the name Wren for a girl?

[twogirls1more]

Just a thought really and I realise it's prob a name people would either love or hate but a friend of friend's just named her baby girl wren and I thought it may inspire some of you expecting a girl?
Have to say I'm so taken with it, if I had another DD, (already have 3!) I would quite possibly choose it! I'm currently preg with no.4 and last though and it's a boy so won't get to use it!
Anyway, just food for thought for some of you maybe??? :)

love it. have done for years. Clearly your friend has great taste!!!!

I saw it this week on a Cbeebies birthday card but er, no, not for me. Doesn't look nice, or sound nice. Sorry.

I'd think of the Royal Navy. Even though the term isn't in use for current Service personnel, it lives on in both common parlance and the Benevolent Association.

Like it.

I like it. I knew a little one who had an older brother named Tennessee and then a younger sibling named Cedar (not sure if it was a girl or boy). Not my sort of names, but I really thought they were nice. :)

It you can name your kid Robin or Jay, why not Wren?

My best friends baby is Indigo Wren.... love it (and her).

It makes me think of the military connection too. I dont like it.

It is a lovely name A friend at school was Eren but Ren for short, I love it!

I call DD Wren but her name is actually Seren.

And she is so not like a wren is is unbelievable. More of an albatross. For this reason I wouldn't use it as a proper name.

You could have a Wren .... and Stimpy

Yep, SoupDragon, that was my thought. What if she turned out to be a great big roaring tempestuous character, saddled with a teeny weeny sweet little name?

LOLOL - you've just described DD :o

I LOVE Wren for a girls name, but my dogs nn is Ren, so not possible!

I think I would love it but can't get past the navy connection. For the same reason could never have a Jack (means to be selfish and said a lot).

I love it! Was trying to persuade DH that we should use it but have now found out we are having a boy. He really didnt like it though!

I heard someone had called their daughter Wren and instantly loved it but as we already have a Jenny in our house, didn't think I could use it! I would have to be a petite girl to carry the name well.

It!

To me Wren sounds masculine, so I don't think it's the best name for a dd.

Makes me think of St Paul's Cathedral, the navy and Ren and Stimpy.

I can't stand it when girls are given twee, airy-fairy little names. Daisy, Millie, Poppy, Tilly, etc. Do you want her to grow up thinking she's nothing but a flimsy flower, born to look pretty and die when the beauty fades?

Choose a big, strong, meaningful name that she can be proud of and grow into.

I think Wren is meaningful, and quite lovely Shengdan . People name boys Martin, Robin, and Jay quite frequently and those are birds too...

A friend of mine's daughter is nicknamed Wren, as their slightly older daughter couldn't pronounce her full name. Both her names are lovely, and she suits both of them:o

I know a little Wren (big brother Idris, how cool is that?!) - she suits it, being small with lovely dark eyes. But I don't think I like it as a name more generally, iyswim.

Love it.

Now Idris is a fantastic name
