I feel that cutting the -lee part out of Wrenlee would make the combo a tad bit better.

I love Wren, but tacking the -lee on there seems unnecessary and doesn't look good. If they had their hearts set on making up a name with that sound, Wrenley would have at least looked nicer. Ophelia is lovely. Surname names are fine but ones ending in -s are a little too much for me. Chera is interesting.

Wrenlee is kind of unfortunate, just imho. It’s made up and the -lee part seems to be for making it “cutesy” / stereotypically feminine. Wren is fine on its own (it’s a bird species and the meaning is kind of the point). Wren Lee (first and middle) would have been nice.Ophelia is nice, if a bit old-fashioned and theatrical. It could fit the right kind of person. Chera — what’s the origin of this?Collins — ugh, another surname-turned-first-name. Really dislike this fad.

I’m not sure about the origins of Chera, but she’s of the age where Cher was becoming popular so it might be an elaboration of Cher.

aigh, name combos with namelets like Lee and Ann and Lyn just don't excite me. Wren Leigh June would be cooler. Wrenlee, it just sounds like a surname, Renley, borrowing a little hipster from a bird word.
It's not bad, but I forgot it already.
I dislike Collins, it makes me think of cocktails, and I like Ophelia alright - it's probably the only female O name besides Olive / Olivia, that I sort of like.
Is it prn shera like Cheryl? I kind of like it.

Chera pronounces it like Cher-uh, like the singers name with an uh at the end. Or like Sarah with an h after the s, like Shara.

Hi !!!I like Wren but not with -lee.
June is too much. One nature name is enough.
I much prefer Iunia to June.
I like Ophelia but I prefer Ofelia.
Collins is only a surname: Cailean is far better than it.
Chera is strange. "cera" (similar sound) means "wax" in Italian. I love Cherì and Chérie.
