Wren for a girl

[sylviec]

What do we think?

I think it's lovely. Sweet and simple. Just quite 'of the moment' if that bothers you.

Beautiful name! Not popular but not completely out there and unheard of either. I really like it

Really lovely.

Love!

I know a Wren! She's about 7 or 8 now I think - haven't seen her in a while, but she's a very independent young lady!

I'm sorry but I'm not keen. I would assume that it was 'Ren' and a nickname for something else - Lauren, Karen, Renata...

I think of Ren.

I love it. I've met three little Wrens since DS (3) was born, so it's definitely gaining popularity where we live (London).

Awful. It’s a small bird. Great if you are petite but pretty mocking if you’re not.

Great if you are petite but pretty mocking if you’re not.

Actually, good point. All the ones I've met are tiny little girls - might be incongrouous as a strapping Amazonian adult.

I like it, but agree it might not suit an adult if she doesn't look "bird like" for want of a better phrase.

Sorry to go against the majority but it just makes me think of the kitchen suppliers! To be fair we are looking into work in the house so it’s fresh in my mind!

LOVE IT
That was on my list 💙💙💙💙

As long as she doesn’t have a sibling called Stimpy then it’s fine

Makes me think of Ren and Stimpy.

I think it’s lovely

I love it. Beautiful name.
Wren.
Lovely.

Although Ren and Stimpy is horrible...

This hasn't made the transition from bird to name for me. Wrens are quite attractive small birds but nothing special - and they are very small.

I don't like the way it looks (the first part of the word 'wrench' and Christopher Wren, because of the initial capital letter, are the first things I think of). Then I think of Wrens as in the WRNS - women's navy.

And I don't like the way it sounds - unfinished, as if it's short for Renata or Lorenzo or something.

It’s lovely, but I’ve met three Wrens under 18months recently, so I think it’s really taking off.

I'm so gutted it's becoming popular recently!

It's lovely

I think it's awful - tiny nondescript bird. Why would you name a woman after one?

It's one of DD's nicknames but it's not her actual name.

She is so not a tiny songbird though!

@SoupDragon Is that a shortening of her full name?

Wrens may be small and nondescript but they have amazing songs.
