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??? :)

Like it, my DD is called Ren. It means lotus flower.

I sort of agree though possibly not as stridently with Heng...

wren think of as weak and spindly , delicate and needs to be looked after

I Want a dd who ROARS not chirps.

What if you don't get a DD who roars? Not everyone does - male or female.

Considering dds parentage Roaring is pretty much a given.

it's more I am woman hear me roar

than yelling like a lion

Lets hope she doesn't disappoint then.

bit odd erm but I'm sure she'll be just fine thank you.

Dreadful.

Sounds as if she is part of the Navy.

The Wren - is the commonest bird in Britain.

I know one and that's what we say to her when she is tarted up for a night out

I like Wren and Robin for a girl but DH vetoed them both.

to be pedantic, aren't the bird (nick)names Robin Redbreast and Jenny Wren, so Jenny would be the equivalent of Robin, Wren would be the equivalent of Redbreast?

I wouldn't call a child sparrow, or chaffinch, or pigeon, or woodpecker, so probably not wren (also makes me think of the WW2 navy connection too).

Wren and Stimpy - sorry.

Stamps feet, flaps wings, Serins sing better.

(Swoon at Idris!)

'Ser I n' oooh.... the perfect antidote to the inevitable ubiquitousness of 'Seren'

Cute name.
Tom and Hester's daugher is called Wren in Philip Reeve's Mortal Engines quartet .

Mamalazarou you gave me the idea for a Stimpy toy for my friends little Wren for christmas. BF would love it, unfortunately they are ££££

DD2 used to roar like a lion during her Lion King II phase (aged 3 to 5). She would climb onto the arm of the couch as if it was Pride Rock and roar for a while...

My brother once met two American girls called Robin and Wren. He commented on the coincidence of them both being named after birds and Wren did this face she didn't know a wren is a bird. I don't know where she thought her name came from.

Wren can be used for boys as well it is used
a lot in USA and also in Ireland

I think it's a plain and insignificant name, a bit like the bird.

Lovely name, I know a Wren (nearly 1) who suits her name so much, she has really chubby arms and legs and big brown eyes, and has recently started copying her mum signing so it is the perfect name for her.

I liked it but DH wouldn’t even consider.

ZOMBIE THREAD

No. You might use Robin or Jay but they are diminutives of other names.

You wouldn't call a baby Owl or Chaffinch or something.

Linnet is pretty.
