For a girl? What's your thoughts?

I love it in one breath but is it faddy? Having doubts.

Absolutely gorgeous. I love it

@PeggyGa Ugg, I love it too! Hoping positives will make me sure on it 🥰

I knew an 8 year old wren, absolutely love it!

MonkeyPuddle · 29/01/2022 23:59

There’s a little lad in my 4yo DS class

DramaAlpaca · 30/01/2022 00:00

Not for me, sorry. It's a very cute small bird, not a name for a child. I'm not sure it's faddy exactly, but I do think it's a little silly.

She might get a few jokes about Wren kitchens… Or about being a bird etc.

It’s kinda cute but I have my doubts too…

JessicaJacket · 30/01/2022 00:01

Love it!

I wouldn't like to be called Wren though, as I'm tall and sturdy! I feel the same about Willow. Something to consider if either the mum or dad is particularly sturdy.

StrychnineInTheSandwiches · 30/01/2022 00:02

Definitely faddy. It might sound fresh and whimsical now but I suspect it might date quickly. Like Bear.

FrecklesMalone · 30/01/2022 00:06

The only wren I know is quite stocky and it's a bit unfortunate.

Mossstitch · 30/01/2022 00:19

Never heard it used but love it for a girl💖

AdaColeman · 30/01/2022 00:23

I think it will date very quickly.

Purplependant222 · 30/01/2022 00:23

Really cute nickname.

Could have a name beginning with ‘W’ or with ‘en’ included.

My first thought was Wren kitchens.

Benvolio · 30/01/2022 00:26

Would be a beautiful nickname for a Lauren

StrychnineInTheSandwiches · 30/01/2022 00:30

Renée/Ren is lovely.

Daydreamsinsantafe · 30/01/2022 00:31

It’s beautiful. Evokes images of a clever, quick witted & elegant woman and a spirited little girl.

StrawberryPot · 30/01/2022 00:35

I think it's lovely too.

Mikeythecat · 30/01/2022 00:40

I think it's really lovely.

DebbieHarrysCheekbones · 30/01/2022 00:41

Gorgeous

Flutterflybutterby · 30/01/2022 04:08

I think it's sweet but I'd be wary it might get very popular soon and then maybe seem a bit dated, but so will a lot of names that are popular now, so I don't necessarily think that should put you off!

Crunchysnap · 30/01/2022 04:45

I think of Wren from Pretty Little Liars. And he was male. I think I am in the small minority though.

Having said that, I think it is a beautiful girls name.

RussiasGreatestLoveMachine · 30/01/2022 04:55

It’s nice, but it feels a bit too gimmicky.

FlamingoDust · 30/01/2022 08:51

Love it! I know a couple and they always get compliments on their name

duvetdayforeveryone · 30/01/2022 09:01

I love it.

What are you thinking for a middle name?

Luredbyapomegranate · 30/01/2022 09:10

It’s incredibly faddy and will date very fast.

So if that’s bother’s you, I wouldn’t. Robin? That’s been around for ages so won’t ever sound dated in the same way.

Allpenguinsarepingus · 30/01/2022 09:13

I like it. Small cute bird thing is not a issue. ´Robin’ is also a small cute bird.
