No. Sounds lovely and delicate but imagine that name on a big clumsy child or a 6 foot tall middle aged lady. Not what you want to think about when naming your precious baby I know, but I think it'd be a hell of a name to carry off if you're anything less than a delicate wee thing

Still makes me think immediately of the Royal Navy.

Like it a lot as a middle name but probably not as a first name.

Ok but to me it's a bit like calling your child Willow - ensure your genes will create a waif like child to match the name. For the child's sake.

I would not like to be called Wren at my age. I am 42.

I find it very masculine and un-elegant sounding, sorry.

No, it's a harsh ugly sounding name to my ears. Sorry!

Pelvic beat me to it.

Ren and Stimpy. Sorry.

I have heard it a lot on MM but don't know of any in rl. It makes me think of something small and dainty with a loud song. I personally would prefer Robin but Wren is softer than Lark.
