Rae or Wren?

[Marrilou]

Hi all, I have a baby due in April and my two top girls' names are Rae and Wren. Just wondering which people prefer? Thanks!

I don't like either of them. They are nice surnames though.

I personally prefer Wren but Rae is lovely too 😊

I prefer Wren.

I love Wren, really, really love it. I don't dislike Rae, but Wren is gorgeous.

I don't like either. Rae seems to be the new 'go to' middle name and Wren is a little brown bird.

Wren

I prefer Wren. I am bad at pronouncing Rs though so couldn't use either of them myself!

I have a friend with a little girl called Wren. Its a gorgeous name.

Wren is lovely.

Wren is a little brown bird

Rowan and Willow are trees, Poppy and Daisy are flowers, Holly is a plant, April is a month, doesn't stop any of them from also being names...

My little may born is Wren, so I am bias lol

I think they're both lovely, we had wren on our shortlist for a good while, but took it off because neither me nor DH is particularly small, so there was a good chance a DD would be too well built to carry it off!

Wren seems to be everywhere all of a sudden. I think it looks better than it sounds. "Ren" just doesn't sound great.

Rae is the nicer of the two. I work with a Raya which is close and nicer still.

Wren

Oo that's interesting that Wren seems more popular, for some reason thought people would generally favour Rae over it!

I love Wren but don’t dislike Rae either.

I like Rae

It seems v trendy to do 'ae' names atm. I find them a bit meh tbh. Wren would be my preference of the two.

I looove them ! Especially Rae

Rae is lovely.

Wren is ok, Rae I really dislike I'm afraid. It's a bit meaningless and sounds like an old darts playing man (Ray.)

Neither! Wren if I had to pick.

Neither really, I find Wren just nothing-y - because the w is silent I just think of ren. Rae I think is just a naff filler middle name.

Robin is quite nice...

Both are lovely. I wouldn’t be able to choose between them.

Wren, definitely
