| The reality also is you can't really control your kid's nicknames. Once they're in preschool they will come home with variations on their name you never expected. |

Yeah, the old man names are BACK. Preschools are full of Alfred, Alfie, Maurice, Harold. Larry would fit right in. |

| I like Ren for a nickname. It’s modern and fresh with a cool factor, reminds me of the singer Ren. Larry as a nn would be fine if it was the 40s. |

Agree. Otherwise it’s Larry. |

| Ugh. Ren for a boy. Wren is a girls name. Everyone will think Ren is a girl whose name you spelled incorrectly until they meet him, FYI. |

Lawrence and Larry are both awful names. Renzo sounds like a dog's name. Ren was the name of Kevin Bacon's character in Footloose, wasn't it? |

| I disagree that Wren is a girl. I know a boy with that name and think it's great. It's also a Nan for him. Plus if he doesn't like it when he's older he has the full name to fall back on. I love it bc it's like the bird. |
