I’m getting close to due with baby boy and we still haven’t settled on a name! After lots and lots and lots of searching it seems the closest we’ve come to agreeing on something is [name_m]Ren[/name_m], but my partner prefers it as a nickname and wants baby to have a longer formal name. I’ve been through a few lists of names that could shorten to [name_m]Ren[/name_m] and just don’t love any of them. Anyone have any ideas? I’m open to as unusual and creative as you guys can get!
Some are more stretchy than others!
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Aaron[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Barron[/name_m] / [name_m]Baron[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Reynold[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Leonard[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Reginald[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Robin[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Faron[/name_m] (I think this is cool but I don’t know much about it!)
fwiw, I do think Wren/Ren works for a boy as a full name. But I get if that’s off the table for you!

I do love [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] and suggested it a while back (separately from the [name_m]Ren[/name_m] idea) but my partner hard no vetoed it unfortunately. I might try again as a compromise using [name_m]Ren[/name_m] as a nickname but not sure what the chances are of him agreeing to it. [name_m]Faron[/name_m] is interesting, I haven’t come across that before. I don’t know if I love it but I don’t dislike it, I might sit on it for a day or 2 and see if it grows on me.
[name_f][/name_f]I’m not completely against using [name_m]Ren[/name_m] on its own but my partner isn’t a fan of one syllable names generally and I do like the idea of baby having the option if he gets older and decides [name_m]Ren[/name_m] doesn’t suit him. So if it comes down to last minute and we still don’t have a long name maybe just [name_m]Ren[/name_m] will be on the table but we’ll see!

I love Ren! You have great suggestions and my favourites have already been suggested but love SoREN, EvREN, Torin/ToREN, and WarREN.
What about:
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Soren[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Brent[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Evren[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Brendan[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Breccan[/name_m]
I haven’t seen [name_m]Renwick[/name_m] mentioned. I’ll also suggest:
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Clarence[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Kieran[/name_m] / [name_m]Ciaran[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f]Kiren
[name_f][/name_f]Severen
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Thoren[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Taren[/name_f] / [name_m]Taran[/name_m]
If partner’s preference is simply that [name_f][/name_f]- a preference [name_f][/name_f]- and you both don’t love any longer names, it sounds like a reasonable decision to choose [name_m]Ren[/name_m] as is.
[name_f][/name_f]All the best with your decision!
[name_m]Evren[/name_m]!
