Wren may not be as time-honored a bird name choice as Robin or even Lark, but it's more fashionable and fresh, with a gentle and earthy vibe. 
Given to just a handful of children a decade ago, in 2024 there were over 1400 girls and more than 200 boys given this fun and friendly name.
 This petite bird was regarded in Ireland as the "magician of the birds" and the Druids considered it a bird of prophecy. In the early fable The Election of the 'King of Birds', the Wren is bestowed the crown after it hides in the plumage of the Eagle, meaning it manages to fly further and higher than all other birds! Able to sing loud and complex songs, Wren makes a cool, nature, inspired choice.

 In 2023, Wren entered the Top 1000 names for boys in the US, where it fits right in with the gentle vibes of popular choices like Rowan, Ezra and August. Reminiscent of Lawrence, Lorenzo, and Warren, Wren feels at once unexpected and fun, but totally wearable too.

 While currently more popular for girls, it is on the rise as a unisex name - and the link to the great Sir Christopher Wren, the celebrated eighteenth century designer of London's St. Paul's Cathedral, gives it strength, substance and style.

A powerful name with an intriguing air of antiquity, Zenaida has the freshness of Zephyr and Azalea too. Meaning "life of Zeus" or "dedicated to Zeus", it was notably borne by the first-century saint, Zenaida of Tarsus. She and her sister Philonella, were physicians, particularly interested in experimental medicine, pediatrics, and psychiatric disorders.
 
Appearing as Zinaida in Russia, Lithuania, the Ukraine and Belarus and as Zénaïde in French, this form is used predominantly among Spanish and English speakers. The pronunciation of the name may also vary depending on where it's used, and it may be heard as zeh-NAY-duh, zeh-NYE-duh, zeh-naa-EE-duh, and sen-EYE-da.
 
A second meaning of the name is "white winged dove", owing to its connection to Zenaida doves, names by French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte for his wife, Zénaïde Laetitia Julie Bonaparte.
