Boy names to go with Wren?

Expecting DS2 and really could do with suggestions for a name. Our first child is called Wren.

DH's top choice is Oren but I think it's a bit similar to Wren.

I like:
Rue
August
Silas

Any names come to mind along our kind of styles? We love nature names but have a Rowan and a Raven in our lives so as popular as they are they're not useable for us!

I absolutely love Rue.

Even when its actual meaning is 'to be very sad and regretful'?

I knew someone who called their daughter Wren and their son was called Finch

ginasevern · 15/03/2025 16:14

Maybe it's just me but I think Rue Wren is a bit too much? I think from your list Silas fits best. Not sure if it's overused at the moment but I do like it.

I like Silus or August best with Wren. Wren and Oren are too similar and Wren and Rue sounds a bit “matchy” to me.

No to Oren, it's far too similar.

Even Owen or anything ending 'en' would be a no from me
