One week to go and we were dead-set on Robin for our daughter.... except I'm having a wobble and have put Maya back on the list...

I know Maya is really popular at the moment but it's the name of a very brave, very sweet friend of ours who lives in Japan and is having an appalling time struggling with the recent horrific events.....

The name Robin has no background - we just love it.

What do you think?

Maya - very pretty, I like it. V. popular as you say though. May as a first name would also be nice.

Robin - I don't like this, sorry. It's too unisex.

Deborah - like, underused and a classic (Biblical) name.

Robin is horrid.

Maya is "popular" but it's pretty.

Robin - it's lush and would have been our dd's name if we hadn't had boys.

We'd sort of promised to use Deborah as a middle name because it goes back generations on both sides of the family.... but Maya Robin DOES sound pretty.... oh it's so blimmin' hard, isn't it?

I prefer Robin.

My DD is a Robyn. I wanted to spell it with The I but was told no.

Both names are lovely and as babytum1 says why not use both and have one as a middle name?

Love them both - have one as a middle name maybe? Maya Robin sounds nice. I know a few Robin's but both are boys - think the girl spelling is Robyn??
