Rene's are incredibly rare and phenomenal women. Their character and principles are unmatched by others, particularly in faithfulness. They triumph over difficulties with their sense of humor and passion. Their virtue is difficult to corrupt. Men often fail to capture their romance. They usually possess gifts and talents in the arts.
If on a day a girl is born,
you find a shiny penny,
You must begin to share your luck,
And name the young girl Rene!
