I had a friend named Lauren who went by Ren.

So, you're one of those people that pronounces their own name incorrectly, are you? Like Matt LeBlanc.

I always find it funny when that happens.

I don't believe it is possible to mispronounce your own name, it's yours, you can pronounce it how you wish it to sound.

Saiorse Ronan pronounces her name 'Sursha' when the name should be pronounced 'Seersha', neither are incorrect because she can pronounce it as she pleases.



Opinions are just onions with pi in them.

I always did a at Tawny's name, never at Ren's... Though I didn't know it was short for Renee, hah.

lol now the people that wrote Sonny with a chance are using the name Tawny, only spelled different TAWNI... only thing is Even Stevens is way better lol and Sonny with a chance is not one of the better Disney Shows....

I don't know, I have a friend named Tani, pronounced the same way. It's short for Tatyana.

reply

A lot of people make the assumption that Ren is short for Renee, but I don't believe it is ever referenced in the show.

reply

It's short for Renee.

I'm pretty sure her mom calls her that in an episode.

Wren is a type of bird I believe. The baby in Baby Blues is named Wren. Then again, the boy's name is Hammy so...

I can see it being short for Renata.

Yes, Renee.

I could never get over the fact the dad's name was Steve Stevens. And I'm sure Steve is short for Steven so he was Steven Stevens. So Ren is probably considered normal for the family.

This is a non-riot hearse. If it were a hearse, there would be silence in the backseat.

reply

It was obviously short for something like Renee or Reyna or a really long name from another culture that were unfamiliar with lol
