Help!

[mariapedrazzetti]

I really love the name "Wren", and I'm thinking about using it for my son due in October. I know it's a trifle feminine, but is it TOO feminine to use on a boy? Any thoughts?!
Thanks!

I like Wren for a boy or a girl. It's definitely a unisex name so go for it x

Not for me, and certainly not for a boy.

I think of the nursery rhyme character Jenny Wren, personally.

I wouldn't for a boy sorry.

I quite like it! Like Christopher Wren!

I really wouldn't use it on a boy. I wouldn't use it full stop but I've heard much worse! If you really have to use it, use it on a girl

I know a Wren who is a boy - 1 years old. I think people will assume it as a girls name, but still usable for a boy.

Not keen

I like it, I think it’s a pretty name but not effeminate. Going against the grain, it seems! It’s a boy’s name, to me- but I’ve never met anyone called Wren.

No, it's too girly...Jenny Wren is so well known.

There must be other possible bird names.
Jay is all I can think of.

Hmm I mostly think of the WRENS in WWII (women's navy).

I don't think it's particularly one gender or the other for me. It is unusual and it would put me off personally that he would have to spell it every single time he gave his name, but that doesn't bother everyone!

I think it's ok on a boy but everyone's likely to think it's a girl when reading the name.

I like Wren for a girl, think it's too feminine for a boy, it seems to be gaining popularity for girls but I've never heard of a boy being called it

I really like it for a boy personally

Wren is definitely a girl’s name. It would be an embarrassing name for a boy.

I know a girl Wren but I don't see why you couldnt use it for a boy - Robin is unisex.

I like it.

Robin is a very wet name for a boy.

Not many boys/men want to be named after ickle birds.

Hahaha I agree about Robin being a very wet name!

Maybe it would help to imagine your son when he's an 18 year old and going out, I think the name is cute as a baby, but not for when he gets older

I love it OP. Never heard of Wren as a girls name, only ever heard it in regards to boys.

He certainly won't thank you for it.

There's hundreds of names out there, why give him an effeminate little birdie name?

He's going to grow into a man one day you know.

Rob? A good strong name.

Not right for a boy at all. It's a tiny bird.

I would definitely assume it was a girl, sorry.

I know a Ren (a man). Could you drop the W?

Wren is fine for a surname but not as a first name. How about Heron or Kestrel.
