Does it sound too 'boyish'?

Me and my partner are having a girl and firstly agreed on Sophie.. He then decided he doesn't like it..
We then chose Mia which I really like but now he's not too sure!
So he has suggested Robin/Robyn and really likes it but although I do like the name I'm wondering if it goes with the surname Harvey? Does it sound too much like a boy's name or am I looking too much into it?! Thank you!

Robyn was on our list for dd, I like it :)

For me the y spelling indicates girl and Robin would be for a boy :)

I like robin for a girl. I did know one once and she said that when she turned up for meetings people were always expecting a man. Depends whether you think this could work in your dd's favour/ make her stand out or would just in fact be very annoying!

I like Robyn, it's pretty and one of my current favourites. Congratulations

So many pretty girl names out there. Robyn is very boyish imho.

I love Robin for a boy but dislike it for a girl, sorry.

I like the name (it's a family name for me), and do think it goes with your surname.

Nice, and different. Good to be the only one with a name in a class.

I really like robin for a girl. Think it's nice spelt either way as well.
