Wren?

[deemented]

What do you think?

Or do you associate it with Stimpy?

Have to say, am totally and utterly stumped with girls names this time.

I desperately want to call our baby girl Wren... I love it with all my heart but hubby hates it! Which makes me really really sad

We both like Ella but I'm still campaigning for Wren... I'm kind of hoping that when she's born she'll just look like a Wren and Hubby will think so too!!

It's definitely a good alternative middle name - so many have Rose, Grace or May.

I think it is daft as a name.

Having said that, it is DDs nickname, short for Seren (and never have you met a child less like a wren!).

"I LOVE Wren. So pretty and sweet."

But what if she doesn't want to be pretty and sweet?

And are "pretty and sweet" the characteristics we want most in out girls? Particularly when they become women?

The Ren in 'Neighbours' was short for Serendipity

Are Wren's not big clunky blackbirds?

I know an adult Ren, short for Karen.
You can also have Wren as a nickname for Jenny.

No, Molly, they are tiny, drab little insignificant squeaky things that you don't even notice until they perform. Perfect role model for the women of the future.

Or they are a very loud beautiful voice in a very small package, just like my DD.

It is your DDs middle name though. Huge difference.

Second name absolutely fine. But for the love of God, not a first name!

Wren is a little delicate bird - fine if she is little and delicate but maybe wouldn't suit everyone!

I agree there are nicer names.

I know a girl called Wen.

Wen? How bizarre- it means an open sore!

My DD is called Ren, we needed a name that was known in English, French and Japanese.

The kanji for my DD's name means lotus blossom. There is another kanji which means love.

The only down side is that Ren means radish in Serbian!

I still love her name though

Wren - is that even a name??

It looks very harsh, is difficult to pronounce properly in many languages (especially phonetic germanic languages who'd pronounce the W) and sounds harsh to my ears, sorry.

I would have thought it is a boys name before this thread actually.
