What’s your opinion on the name Rena? What are some middle names you like with it? What would you rate it on a scale from 1-10?

I personally think Rena is a cool name. I pronounce it as REH-NA. It’s basic, and I prefer Raina. But it’s pretty. I’d give it a 7/10.

I think Irina is so beautiful that I’d opt for it over Rena always. Rena reminds me of renal (relating to the kidneys), and I think that’s sort of bizarre in a human name.

I once taught a Rina who had been named after an Irina relative; unfortunately she only got the nickname form!

I like it (although it looks a little too much like "renal" compared to other variants like Renna.) It sounds quiet, smart, and mature. It gives me a similar feel to Resa.

For me, Renna is more obviously REH-na because Rena looks like it could be REH-na, RAY-na, or maybe even REE-na (because of the 'renal' thing).

It's my gma's name! She pronounces it Reena. Everyone here hates it because it's similar to Renal. She was named after her grandmother, Orena.

I like it. It's an offbeat flapper name. My grandmother is awesome and I wouldn't be opposed to using it as an honoring name. 8/10 for me because of associations. I also toy with the idea of Irene/Irena.

Rena Rose appeals to me a lot.
