I love the name Wren, and want to use it as a middle name but have run into two problems. First, any one we tell that this will be her middle name says it's odd, and second, we can't decide on her first name!
The options are Lila Amélie Wren Hart, Lucy Amélie Wren Hart or Imogen Wren Amélie Hart. What do you guys think? Which is best?
(Amélie is a family name, and Hart is the surname)

I LOVE the name Wren! And you shouldn't let other people's opinions stop you so long as you love it too, especially since it's in the middle. It think it's an amazing middle name. Go for it--it's your choice after all, and no one else's! :)
As for the combo, I think Lila Amelie Wren Hart (I can't get the accent mark in my post) is better than Lucy, just because of the sound, they're both wonderful names. Anyway, good luck! I hope this helped you!

I knew a girl who went by nn Wren. Her real name was Serenity but she didn't care for it much and preferred to be known as Wren.
"Call me 'Wren', like the bird", she would say. As opposed to the masculine 'Renn' I suppose. Nice name either way.

Wren is totally a bird to me, but I can see how it would be nice as a middle name. I prefer Lila Amelie Wren-- very pretty! I also think just Amelie Wren would be gorgeous.

I like Wren in the middle spot a lot! This combination is absolutely gorgeous:

I think Wren is adorable, especially in the middle!
Lila Amélie Wren Hart - I usually prefer Lila to Lucy, but I find Lila Amelie hard to say with the back to back A and the lye, lah, lie sounds. But this one does have a nice flow and looks beautiful written down. You may not have the same trouble I do saying Lila Amelie, or you may not mind it. What about Lila Wren Amelie Hart?
Lucy Amélie Wren Hart - I find it easier to say Lucy Amelie (not as tongue-twistery) but they do have the same ending so it's a little sing songy, but just a little. Lucille Amelie Wren Hart?
Imogen Wren Amélie Hart - I like Imogen a lot but I find it hard to say Imogen Wren (maybe there's something wrong with me today). Imogen Amelie Wren Hart?
So I see that I'm just re-arranging all your options :) Since I like both Amelie and Wren, this is my list of the first names in order:
Lila
Imogen
Lucy
Good Luck!
