Baby Boy Name - Warren

[HashB]

Hi All,

Really struggling with baby boy names. What do you think of Warren?

I know one in his 50s. Not keen sorry.

Went to school with two of them. One was a Warryn, if that helps.
You'll get loads of 'oh rabbit warren' comments but with Ren as a nn option it seems fine to me.

I knew one who would be in his 40’s now. He wasn’t very nice so I’ve got bad associations! But that’s just a personal thing!

There's better boy names out there!

Seems more of a surname than a first name. I know a nice one but he's in his 70s.

Thanks everyone.
It is actually my mums maiden name. I have my dads surname, but he has no wider family, I have only ever known my mums side so there is that connection there.
As a first name, it’s like most other boys names I hear. Don’t hate it, don’t love it…
this is so hard!

You could use it as a first or middle name. It didn't do Warren Beatty any harm.

Makes me think of Warren G mid 90s rapper, not a bad thing, I still sing along in car when I hear it. I don't think the name has been popular enough to sound that dated, use it if you like it. I think it's quite nice to reference your family name.

It's the old joke; What do you call a man with 15 rabbits up his bum? Or the Warren at school was nicknamed Peace

Not for me. It's not aged well imo.

It's not a dreadful name by any means but he might get called bunny at school. The only Warren I've ever heard of is Warren Beatty but I'm showing my age and nobody else here will know who I'm talking about.

I know one in his 40s o I used to not like it but I don't mind it now

The only two Warrens I have known have been really quiet, studious types, and all-round nice guys. I like it!

It's awful

I knew people at school called Warren. I'm in my 50s. To me it's a name that goes with all the Darrens, Jasons, Deans, Grants, Garys and Waynes. The Sharons, Karens, Jackies, Elaines and Paulines.

I know these will come around again eventually, but please God, not yet.

It's not horrible but it's what I would call an awkward name.

Went to school with a Warren. One of the funniest lads in my year. I remember one afternoon in TVEI we were doing First Aid and the instructor asked him what's the first thing you do if you see an accident. Warren said ,quick as a flash , 'Assess the situation ' . He said it so seriously and with such a deadpan look that I couldn't help laughing.
No help I know but I've nothing but affection for the name.
Wozzer!

I like it. I especially like that there is a family connection to the name, in your case.

Warren is a good name, it’s my cousins name and he is the only Warren I know.

I know Warren Beatty! I also think Buffett.

I forgot about Warren Buffett!

So true. And the Steves and Pauls and Susans and Janes. Very much of the 70s!

Warren Jeffs, a child rapist and leader of an FLDS cult in the USA, is probably the most famous Warren I’ve heard of.
It would be a big no for me.

Yes i like warren it suits all ages.

It’s a bit dated but makes a change and with your family connection could be meaningful.
