Absolutely stunning. I love the soft but strong sound. I love the subtle feminine charm and the whimsical modern feel.

As someone who has been called Birdie and Bird by her parents for her entire life, bird names have special significance to me. Ironically, nobody can quite remember why my parents call me Birdie, but they all agree it isn’t for my Great Grandmother Birtie. There was some talk of a kids’ book involving a Lulu Bird, but I can’t seem to figure that one out…

Wren’s extra-special for me because it shares a link to Sir Christopher Wren, architect of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. A double whammy of awesome for me because my twin sister is well on her way to becoming an architect and I grew up in London as a child.

All in all, if I have my way whenever I have my first daughter, I’d like to name her Eliza Wren. It’s a little bit me and a little bit my sister, which is entirely perfect. Plus, the male Superb Fairywren is absolutely stunning – my favorite color, blue!

It totally suits her and we cant imagine her being called anything else!!
She was born in 2007 as well :-)

Ever since we tucked Wren in the middle of our daughter’s name, I find myself drawn to birds. As I start thinking about her big girl room, I’m wondering if it would be so wrong to have an avian theme …

And Harriet is great, too! What a lucky girl. :)
