Wrenley
“Modern elaboration of Wren (the bird) + Old English leah, 'meadow'”
Wrenley is a small bright bird with a longer tail, a modern elaboration that takes the compact English word name Wren and sets it singing. The wren is among the smallest of birds and long associated in British folklore with cleverness, and the LEY ending borrows the meadow or clearing element from Old English place names. It is a very recent arrival on the American girls chart, climbing fast to 149. Two syllables, the silent W and the soft Y ending, nimble and crisp. Nickname Wren is complete on its own. Nature-loving, contemporary, a little bit whimsical. A name that suggests quick wings and keen eyes.
