after months of not agreeing on any names we have come up with robyn for a girl. dp doesn't hate it so that constitutes agreement!However nobody else likes it that Imentioned it in passing to.

Lovely! And congratulations!

I love it too. I've recently met a beautiful little Robin who has influenced me somewhat, and I actually prefer it spelled this way.

So slow to respond but Robyn Grace was born early September and suits her name so well and she has soon turned into a Robbie and Robbinogs Smile

cowboylover · 09/01/2011 21:09

I think its a really nice name and its what you both like!

Just go for it and they will love it when she arrives and its the name of YOUR gorgeous girl Smile

JojoMags · 09/01/2011 19:13

Love it, and really like Robbie as a nn for a girl.

expectingno3 · 09/01/2011 18:56

I love it! Sadly we can't use it as our sirname starts 'Red...' A bit twee I think. Love Grace too as thats dd1's name.

Deciduousblonde · 09/01/2011 18:50

I like it.

I have a second cousin called Robyn, and the spelling is usually the accepted way for a girl :)

Nightstar · 09/01/2011 17:57

As a writer of romance novels I can tell you Robyn isnt one of those names.

Its a name i would certainly use for one of my children, unlike the 'Danielle Steele' names, which i wouldnt!

It's lovely, go for it x

NeverlandOfFun · 08/01/2011 15:05

Really like it :-) Think it's very classy but also down to earth and just really pretty!

LisaRobyn · 08/01/2011 14:43

Love this name. I called my 5 month old girl Robyn.

balijay · 03/09/2010 13:27

Love this - probably going to use it as a middle name for dd due nov Smile

ajandjjmum · 02/09/2010 14:20

DD was very very nearly Robyn - infact we have a couple of cards welcoming 'Robyn' to the world. We loved it.

JenaiMarrHePlaysGuitar · 02/09/2010 14:19

Noooo, not Danielle Steelesque at all!

I'd have used it for a girl. It is also an excellent boy's name.

The one woman Robyn I know is a delightful, witty, very high achiever, who happens also to be very pretty. She must be about 40. I also know a couple who are primary age.

I was so pleased to read daisy and horatia's postings. I think it is a dreadful name, lovely for a boy, but too Daniielle Steele.

I don't like it I'm afraid.

daisystone · 01/09/2010 13:53

It is very American. Personally I think it is awful - a bit trashy and Danielle Steele.

minipie · 31/08/2010 16:17

I love it (wouldn't go with our surname sadly :( )

5DollarShake · 31/08/2010 16:09

Really nice - classic but not overly used.

strandedatsea · 31/08/2010 15:59

I love it too - my niece's name (also 6). Very pretty.

Debzk · 31/08/2010 15:41

I love it!! (but then my DD (6) is called Robyn so I am obviously going to say that :o )

BuntyPenfold · 29/08/2010 23:49

Love it.

spler · 29/08/2010 21:42

Love love it.
Know one. Very classy lady.

lynniep · 28/08/2010 17:53

I love Robyn. I only know one adult (32) and one child (3) and think its a very sweet name.

Thanks. I liked the fact it doesn't seem too popular but not too "out there" unusual either. DD1 getting to choose middle name she is going for Grace she thinks.
