Wren - it’s pretty without being frilly

it's got to be Wendy. Never popular enough to be dated, not here anyway, and really quite pleasant. Willa is really not to my taste at all, and Wren might perhaps work as a nn for a tiny, perky person but not as an actual name.

---

But, if anyone likes the sound of it, there's always Rentia, nn Ren, long form Emmerentia.

Willa.

Wren. It’s the prettiest and original.

I despise Wendy and Willa, and don't like Wren but despise it less, so Wren it is. But yeesh, what choices.

Willa. I would much prefer Willow, but Willa will do. It's a nice name. Wren is cute too, but the sound is nowhere near as nice.

I particularly love Wendy (Gwendolyn / Guinevere / Gwen // Jennifer / Jenny) & Wren.

---

If I were Willa - I might proffer for mina as nickname - whether or not my formal name were wilhelmina or some other variation.

I hear Willa basically like Willow with a strong or exaggerated accent, which makes it seem affected somehow? Idk. I'd prefer it as a NN for Wilhelmina, which I do like.

---

Wren isn't a pretty or compelling sound IMO, and I don't really like the bird.

I pick Wendy. I've only met two - I grew up with one and she was pretty chill, and the other was 30 years older than me but very kind and vivacious, so. It's not a favorite, but I have an overall positive impression of it.

Wren I guess. None of them interest me too much.

Probably Wendy, despite it sounding a little childish I have a soft spot for it. Willa I used to like but now seems empty, I prefer Wilhelmina. Wren I like the sound of but find it kind of annoying on girls, however if I were to use it on a guy I'd rather go with Ren.

Wendy is really cute. Willa is kind of blah, and Wren sounds like the geeky, awkward heroine of some dumb young-adult fantasy series.

Willa. I think it sounds better, more beautiful and overall pleasant. I can see it being used in today's world, unlike Wendy which is dated. Wren, I don't really care for. I've tried to warm up to it but I just can't. It might look nice but the sound of it just doesn't do it for me.

I'll take Willa. Although a little insubstantial, it has a literary vibe, is simple and is not common.

Wendy is too fastfood.

Wren is too birdy.
