Wren for a boy?

[sweetbeee]

What do you think of Wren for a boys name?
We live in the UK and haven’t met anyone with the name.

is the name Wren more for girls?

It's a nice surname. Dreadful as a first name. Lovely birds but tiny and loud.

It's definitely a girl's name in the UK

According to Darker Green

But to be honest first and foremost it's a kitchen brand.

I know 3 wrens (all toddlers). All girls.

I wouldn’t use it for a boys name personally

I know two, both girls.

Nicole Richie’s son is Sparrow I think. Just another option.

It's better that Tit, I suppose.

Just remember-what is a sweet charming name for a baby or even a toddler doesn't work so well for a teenager, a corporate lawyer, a truck driver or an old man. Don't make life any harder for your child than it is already!

I know a boy who has it as a nickname for Lawrence - would that work?

We have a little boy called Wren in our family, now nearly 2. Everyone was quite surprised when the name was announced but it actually really suits him.

Wouldn’t be my choice

I know two boys called Wren, one a toddler and one an older teenager. It's a lovely name and suits them both.

I know two, both girls, but think it works for both.

Christ teigan recently acquired a son called wren.

Have you considered Hawk, Jay, Peregrine or Robin?

I would automatically think girl when I heard it but it’s unusual enough that it could pass for either. I do think unisex names work best for girls though (even if they’re more commonly used for boys) rather than using one for a boy. If you love it, go for it though

Boy or girl all it makes me think of is mediocre kitchens.

Have you considered Howden?

I wouldn't use it for a boy, I always think "Jenny Wren".

I think of it as a boy’s name - unisex, but my mind goes to boy. I love the name and the bird.

I would assume a girl. I don’t like it as a name for either sex. Lawrence with a short form Wren/Ren might be OK.

What about Robin, Crow, Raven or Dartford Warbler.

I'd say Ren for a boy and Wren for a girl.

It could be a nickname for Lawrence.

The main character in Footloose was a boy called Ren. I actually always thought it was quite a cool name but I may be in the minority based upon the other replies!

I am not sure an adult man named after a dainty little garden bird works.

Definitely more a girls name. I wouldn’t.
