Wren
I'm liking Wren as a girl's FN a lot lately, WDYT? I also like it as a boy's MN.
Any combo suggestions for boy and girl?

I like it! I did a "bird names" poll once and was surprised at how many people thought Wren was a great name!

I like it but it makes me think of the tv show Even Stevens. I prefer it on a girl. I guess the reason for that is I first heard of the name on a girl.
I love Wren as a girl's name. I think it's so pretty for some reason. I think it works well as a middle name too.
Maybe..

This is just to note that the words "november" and "december" are grammatically masculine in the Romance languages from which they were derived, so I would not suggest using them as names for girls. Also, the word ocean is derived from the Greek okeanos, which is also grammatically masculine.
I really love it. It's up there with Lark and Sparrow for my favorite bird names. I'd consider Sparrow unisex, and possibly slightly prefer it on a boy, but just ever so slightly.

Summer Wren
Wren Hermione
Wren Sunniva (I just randomly came up with this and am in love)
Wren Svetlana
Wren Lilac
Oh wow. I think I'm infatuated with Wren after those combos. I was just going through my PNL and have determined that Wren is GORGEOUS!

Wren is a family surname for me, so I'm biased. But I've always loved it as a fn. Since the bird is small, I see it more as a girl's name than a boy's. I also like Wren as a nn for Renata, and possibly Rowena.
I once saw a Victorian Christmas card with a wren on a snowy brick wall next to a holly bush / tree. The image stuck with me, so Wren Victoria sounds natural to me.
Other cominations you might like:
Wren Olivia
Wren Eliza
Wren Alix (German and old French form of Alice)
Wren Cordelia
Wren Averil
Wren Iseult / Isolde / Eseld
Wren Elspeth
Wren Angharad ("ang-HAR-ud")
Wren Myfanwy ("mi-VAWN-wee") (= my lady)
Wren Eirlys ("IRE-liss") (= snow drop)
Wren Aisling ("ASH-ling")
Wren Isibeal ("ISH-bayl")
You like?
The only caution I would give is to try to avoid a mn that is a noun since Wren is one too. Other than that, have fun!

I like it for a girl only.
I was considering it as I love Ren, but I couldn't grow to love it. It is a little too 'hippie' for me.
It is a nice name, however.

Wren Cassandra
Wren Alexandra
Wren Evadne
Wren Mariah
Wren Persephone
Wren Virginia
Wren Hermione
Wren Sapphira
Wren Helena
Wren Katarina
