Girl and love it would, have given to my youngest but spelt Robyn x

I also think of Robin as a boy and Robyn as a girl.

I much prefer it as a boy's name.

Agree with others,

Robin for a boy, Robyn for a girl.

Not keen on it for a girl, love it for a boy.

Robin with an i boy.

Robyn with a y girl :)

Its a unisex name, we had it on our list for dd.

I would think girl as I think it's used more for girls nowadays. Although I suppose if I was going to meet a forty year old plus Robin, I would probably assume male as it's only recently it's become a lot more popular for girls.

Robin = boy. Robyn = girl. I like it!

I wouldn't assume tbh. I know one in his 40s. In America it is popular for women of that age, but over here, I literally only one and he's a man. I think I'd guess girl now if it were a baby but I'd definitely check and not assume.

Love the name for either. I'd think boy now as we know a baby robin, but before that thought of using it ourselves as a girl's name.

Boy.

Love it for a boy; hate it for a girl.
