[name_f]Do[/name_f] you prefer [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] or [name_u]Wren[/name_u] for a boy and why? Could [name_u]Wren[/name_u] possibly be a nickname for [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]?

Yes.

[name_u]Wren[/name_u] definitely works as a nickname to [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]! Probably spelled [name_u]Ren[/name_u]. I slightly prefer [name_u]Wren[/name_u] on its own - I think it’s a bit cooler and the bird association is sweet. But both are great names

Rowan would be my preference for a boy. [name_u]Wren[/name_u] leans more feminine to me while [name_u]Ren[/name_u] leans masculine in my opinion.

I do prefer the [name_u]Rowen[/name_u] spelling for that Nn though — Drop the O & make an anagram, & it’s [name_u]Wren[/name_u].

I prefer [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] on a boy. [name_u]Wren[/name_u] reads as feminine to me, but [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] with the nickname [name_u]Wren[/name_u] works.

I prefer [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]. But the nn [name_u]Wren[/name_u] definitely works!

Personally I prefer [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] for a boy I just think this name has a more masculine edge in comparison too [name_u]Wren[/name_u] which feels more feminine. Whereas I think [name_u]Ren[/name_u] could work as a first name for a boy I think [name_u]Ren[/name_u] just feels more masculine. I also think [name_u]Ren[/name_u] can work as a nickname for [name_u]Rowan[/name_u].

I prefer [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] for a boy and [name_u]Wren[/name_u] for a girl.

Rowan is lovely and gentle. I agree with other posters that [name_u]Ren[/name_u] would work as a nickname

I prefer [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] because I prefer [name_u]Wren[/name_u] on a girl, but [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] nn [name_u]Wren[/name_u] is brilliant!

Kipperbo1 · January 31, 2021, 1:53am

I prefer [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], but I think [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] (or even better, [name_u]Rowen[/name_u]) nn [name_u]Wren[/name_u] is a perfect compromise!

brittanyanitarose · January 31, 2021, 2:08am

I have a big soft spot for [name_u]Wren[/name_u] but if you’re leaning towards [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] I agree with everyone that [name_u]Wren[/name_u] can totally be used as a nickname for [name_u]Rowan[/name_u].

PrincessShannon · January 31, 2021, 1:11pm

I love [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] an I think [name_u]Wren[/name_u]/Ren works as nn. I prefer [name_u]Ren[/name_u] for a boy and [name_u]Wren[/name_u] as a girl.

EllieWilbury · January 31, 2021, 1:18pm

I think [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] “[name_u]Wren[/name_u]” works, but I prefer both [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] and [name_u]Wren[/name_u] as girl names. I love the idea of [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] “[name_u]Ren[/name_u]” though! [name_u]Ren[/name_u] as a nn for [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] is amazing! [name_u]Rowen[/name_u] “[name_u]Ren[/name_u]” would be even better.

I prefer [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], but I think [name_u]Wren[/name_u] is lovely and refreshing on a boy! It also definitely works as a nickname for [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
