There is another project with several thousands of stars called Wren. It is a scripting language. Maybe a name change should be considered.

They renamed it from knowts to wren 3 days ago

There is also a carbon offset company called wren, they're even Y Combinator alumni: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/wren

There is also a bird called wren that is very popular. A name change may be in order so that people don't confuse this project with the actual bird:

There is also an oldish animated show (still don't know what it's intended audience was) called "Ren and Stimpy", Ren sounds far too similar to Wren.

A name change may be in order so people don't confuse the bird, the language, or the company, or the notes taking application with an "adult" oriented TV show.
