I haven’t heard this name often. What do you think?

It's not objectively horrible. Objectively horrible would be something like, I dunno, Glurzabog. Sounds awful. The sounds in Renly are fine and commonly used in names.

I agree it isn't great because the only association is Game Of Thrones, which is an excellent series that will still be excellent in 20 years, but is still a TV show/book series and therefore just not a very classy naming source.

😓

No. It's not a name for a girl. Just don't.

Sounds like Scooby Doo saying Henley.

TheFunSponge · 08/11/2024 20:05

I know one. Although I don't love the name, she suits it and it's spelt Wrenley.

I am sooooo sorry 😥

Do you go by Glurzy or Bog for short? I quite like Bog. Has an earthy quality

Sounds like a heartburn remedy.

DieStrassensindimmernass · 09/11/2024 06:24

I don't like it OP.
As pp said, sounds like a small town, possibly somewhere on a rarely used branch line.

i've met a florence nicknamed ren recently

I think Wrenley is actually worse.

Yes, I thought of Henley so if you like Oxfordshire town names what about Wantage? Seat of King Alfred etc.

urbanbuddha · 09/11/2024 06:36

Wren’s nice. Renley sounds like an over the counter medication.

Just call her Sophie and stop with the thinking, you are very bad at it.

AI maybe?

No.

Do you like Wren, Bailey, Alizee, Linley or Zena?

Are you in the mid pregnancy mad name zone? My teens are horrified by some of the corkers I came up with for them before coming to my senses.

Wasn't that an indigestion tablet?

Curiosity now satisfied, it turns out there's a wider variety of products than I was aware of that it could potentially bring to mind... Rennie Antacids Range | Rennie

Sounds like a name of spectacles
Please don’t use it.

Indigestion medication.
