Can a girl be Robin or must she be Robyn and what do you think of it?

Too over the top for a baby due Christmas week?

Robin is great for a girl.

I would always assume Robin to be a boy & Robyn to be a girl.

I think either is fine - I know a female Robin. Lovely name IMO. Possibly a bit twee for a Christmas baby Grin but if you like the name why the hell not - only family & friends generally know birthdays so most people she meets during her life won't make the christmas connection anyway.
