[Opinions] Wren

I first saw this name posted on this board by someone else a couple of months ago, the sound of it was familiar, and I also liked it, but forgot about it. And then I walking along, and came across a Wren St. and I remembered it. Its also come up in some research as the last name of some dude.

I actually really do like it, but I was wondering how I would use it? I don't really like one syllable first names, so Wren would probably go in the middle name slot. I like Phoebe Wren.

But, do you think it could work as a nickname for anything?

Any thoughts and ideas are appreciated :)

There's always Rentia (REN-sha), which is very pleasant. Emmarentia is too operatic, and also a suburb in the town next door.

Aren't phoebes also birds? In which case it'd be too feathery by far.

I actually didn't know Phoebe was a type of bird... and wasn't even sure with Wren until my friend pointed it out to me...

I like bird names. :) The French name Reine is also pronounced the same way as Wren in the English-speaking world. They are both nice, imo.

Wren was my great-grandmother's maiden name. So I've always been partial to it. I love it as a fn, as is. But it could also work as a nn for Renee / Renata, Karen or Lauren / Laurentine ("-teen") / Laurentia ("lo-REN-shuh").

I've had the combo Wren Victoria / Victoria Wren in my head ever since I saw a Christmas card. It was a Victorian painting of a wren on a snowy brick wall, pecking at a red berry on a bush. It seemed so perfect.

I'm a fan of Wren. I'm always happy to see it. It's sweet and a little whimsical, yet sturdy at the same time.

Phoebe Wren is cute.

I like Wren. It sounds interesting. But I don't think you could make any nicknames out of it. Phoebe Wren sounds okay. What about Alice Wren? Or Elizabeth Wren? Eliza Wren perhaps? Those sound good.

Alice Wren is what we're naming our first daughter. I also like Amelia Wren, but was vetoed on that.
