Give Rena a notebook that's unmistakably hers. Rena's Notebook has her name in elegant script over a pink watercolor apple blossom cover.
Rena is a Latinate feminine form of René, says Behind the Name, which places it in the same family as Renée and Renata. Wikipedia describes Rena simply as a given name and lists bearers from the United States, Japan, Greece, Azerbaijan and Nigeria. The short, two-syllable form travels easily between languages.
Behind the Name links Rena with Renée, Renata, Renate and the English Renee, Renae, Rene and Renita. Reenie is an English pet form in the same family. Renata is the classic longer option for a Rena who wants one.
Rena Sofer, born December 2, 1968, in Arcadia, California, is an American actress best known for daytime television. Wikipedia says she won a Daytime Emmy Award in 1995 for playing Lois Cerullo on General Hospital, a role she returned to in 2023, and that she played Quinn Fuller on CBS’s The Bold and the Beautiful from 2013 to 2022.
Rena is another late-Victorian name. Social Security data has it 169th in the 1880s and 192nd in the 1890s, about 3,160 American girls across those decades. Behind the Name’s US chart shows it staying in the top 1,000 for most of the 20th century, around 600th in the late 1970s, before its last ranking at 978th in 1989.
Rena is a name with many passports. Wikipedia’s list of Renas includes an Azerbaijani photographer, a Greek actress and singer, several Japanese performers and a Nigerian basketball coach, so it reads as local in a surprising number of places. The photographer on that list, Rena Effendi, was born in 1977.
Rena’s Notebook works just as well for a teenager as for a grandmother. It’s 6" x 9", which fits in most bags, with 160 lined pages and no printed layout to work around. Use it as a diary, a school notebook, a planner or a place to collect quotes and ideas. A name on the cover turns an everyday notebook into something personal.
A plain notebook is useful. One with her name on it is a gift. Seeing “Rena’s Notebook” on the cover tells Rena it was chosen for her, not grabbed off a shelf, and that small touch is often what makes people keep a notebook going instead of abandoning it after a week.
How big is Rena’s Notebook? 6" x 9", or about 15.2 x 22.9 cm. It’s a paperback with 160 lined pages inside.
