I love the name Wren! Honestly, I can see it as totally androgynous. Wrenna sounds like it would be good for a girl; I also like it. I do prefer Wren to Wrenna, kind of.

Wren is fine/ok - not exciting or dazzling but still pleasant (which is why it’s always in the middle name spot for me, never makes it to first name potential). I see it as more female than male on sound. Wrenna is pretty and has more spunk - it has first name potential. Wrenna is all female to me.

I was just thinking about this name today.I actually think it’s a good name. Not too weird but still able to stand out and be cool, and I like the bird association. I vastly prefer it on a girl but it’s not horrible on a boy. I would just use Robin though if that’s the case.Wrenna is okay but I prefer simple Wren. Better yet Morwenna!Wren Abigail

I'm rather fond of it, I would actually consider using it, though it's a bit different in style from many of my other favorites. Definitely prefer on a girl. Wrenna feels like a needless elaboration.

I adore Wren, although I would probably only use it as a middle name for a boy. First or middle for a girl.Wrenna is adorable.

Better than Sparrow, I suppose. No, I don't like it, or Raven or Lark. Since it's a small, petite bird I suppose more people would find it suited to girls than boys. If I liked the sound, I'd happily name a daughter Rentia (RENsha), a shortened form of Emmarentia or Emerentia and IMO a great improvement.

Do you like the name Wren?
Meh, I don't like it but I don't dislike it either.Do you prefer it for a girl or a boy?
Girl.What about Wrenna?
... I prefer Wren.Girl or boy?
This one's surely to the girls, judging by the -a ending which makes it look feminine.

I like it a lot. Feels slightly skittish, witchy, architectural. I prefer it for a girl. Wrenna is ugly and all girl.
