Is wren a gender less name

[catsareme14]

As in the title . Would you use Wren for a girl or boy ?

I think it’s a girls name. A delicate girls name. It’s not sturdy.

Sex. You mean sex. And it’s overwhelmingly used for girls.

I would think girl.
But not be overly surprised by a boy.

Girls name x

It’s a girls name.

The only Wren I know is a boy but I think it's more commonly associated with girls.

Girl

I like the name, but the actual bird is tiny, bland, brown bird. Just something to keep in mind.

I'd say Wren is female, Ren could be either.

Wren is a surname and commonly used as a girls name now.
It would be fine as a second name for a boy, I think, used like many surnames are used as second names.

Girls name

No. Its a girls name

The only Wren I know is a boy.

Dirty little Wren.

(country saying)

When I hear ‘Wren’ I instantly think ‘Jenny Wren’, so it seems feminine to me.

Strong disagree! I think they're gorgeous, understated with lovely tail stripes and they're so loud and proud too. I'd associate them with being bold despite their size... 😆 it's funny how differently we see the world!

Only one I know of is a girl.

And wrens are lovely!

In this case I think it is gender, @HotBathwater . There's nothing inherently sexed about names. It's gendered, as in somewhat arbitrary social rules we place on people based on their sex. If it's genuinely to do with the body (eg sport, medicine etc) then it's sex. If it's stuff like hairdos and toys, then it's gender.

Sex means bodies, gender means ideas/words/fashions/culture.

I would say girl

No, its a girls name.

Wrens are vicious home wreckers. They puncture the eggs of other birds to boot them out of their manor.

I'd assume a boy called "Wren: would be spelt "Ren" (footloose?)

I’m well aware of what gender means. The OP is asking if it’s a boy or girl’s name. And yes, there’s nothing inherently sexed about a name.

Wow I didn’t know that. What little bastards!

On The Archers it was a boy's name
