Wren or Ivy

Hello,

Thinking of naming our daughter who we are expecting next month all going well Ivy or Wren....we both struggle with girls names and so I'm happy to even have two we both like at this stage as with my last daughter we had nothing agreed on when she arrived.

I know the downside is Ivy is becoming extremely popular but I do really like it still.

What are your thoughts?

Although it’s becoming popular I still really like Ivy. It’s pretty and reasonably sensible.

I know Wren is a darling name on mumsnet but I find it really twee and try-hard in real life. Don’t like it at all!

I love Ivy and I've not met any yet
I also love Wren too though for a boy or girl

Wren, both are beautiful but Ivy is so popular now. And Wrens are beautiful song birds.

Wren. I’m not so keen on Ivy.

Can you not have both? Ivy Wren?

Neither for me. Ivy is a parasitic plant and wrens were traditionally hunted and killed on St Stephens day. They feel a bit loaded to me. Sorry.

I personally know 8 Ivy’s and 6 Wren’s. Both are extremely popular names a bit like Evie & Lily were a few years ago.

Ivy. Wren is just ridiculous, really.
