Oren boy or girl?

We like Oren for a boy but it seems like Quinn to be rising up the girl charts.
I just want your initial reaction does it seem like a boys name or a girls to you?

Hi,

I've never heard the name before, but thought it sounds like a boys name. Definately not a girls name to me.

i've only ever heard it a couple of times in american films - always relating to boys

I voted boy as I worked with someone called Oren.

I'm glad your all thinking boy!

It is an Irish boys name we are probably going to go with Oren Murphy I think it sounds great with Quinn Riley. Hopefully though we will have a girl this time! I have 3 boys already

Definitely boy. I have a nephew named Toren- so that kinda cemented that for me.
I also find it frustrating how the girls keep stealing boys names- the poor buggars are already so hard to name!!!

Oh aren't they just! I'm running out of names. I have 3 already and it has gotten to the point that we are just assuming this one is a boy until proven otherwise LOL!

I know a male but it's spelt Orrin.

Definitely boy. And as far as I know, Oren (just Oren) is Hebrew boy name only and mean "Jerusalem Pine". But I also heard about name Orenthal, american one and the meaning of the name is unknown.
