Robin for a boy, Robyn for a girl
Scarlett is a better spelling

SuperBeagle · 01/04/2017 23:22

Robyn and Scarlett.

I don't like Robyn at all though. I only know one Robyn and she's in her 80s. Spends her days complaining and stuffing herself stupid on discounted Chinese takeaways while watching Home & Away.

Scarlett is lovely.

purplewaterbottle · 01/04/2017 23:21

I have a girl Robin! I thought the y made it look a little made up. I love it and it suits her perfectly.

TitaniasCloset · 01/04/2017 23:18

Scarlett.

Robyn sounds shy. Scarlett sounds exuberant and strong.

Joeybee · 01/04/2017 23:16

Robyn if it is a girl, and Scarlett.

tovelitime · 01/04/2017 23:03

I like Robyn. Scarlett is hideous,

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 01/04/2017 22:47

Ah, sorry OP.
Robyn and Scarlett.

ScarlettFreestone · 01/04/2017 22:41

Ahem^^

I also think Robyn is gorgeous though.

DramaAlpaca · 01/04/2017 22:39

Robyn & Scarlett are the best spellings IMO.

ScarlettDarling · 01/04/2017 22:38

Scarlett of course!

Lemondrop09 · 01/04/2017 22:38

Robyn for a girl

Definitely Scarlett. It looks more balanced and it's the way the majority of people spell it, so it will get written that way even if you spell it Scarlet (I know and Elliot who's named is constantly misspelled by people as Elliott)

EmmaC78 · 01/04/2017 22:33

Robyn. Lovely name.

Jooni · 01/04/2017 22:24

Robin. It's more usually the male spelling but I much prefer it over Robyn for a girl too. Feels very dainty yet strong to me.

Rockaby · 01/04/2017 22:18

I love Robyn and Scarlett / Scarlet, (no preference at all for me re spelling). I very slightly prefer Scarlett / Scarlet to Robin / Robyn and like Letty as a shortening.

I think of Robin as the male spelling, but I do like it for a girl too.

Palomb · 01/04/2017 22:12

Robin Scarlet for me

butterflycatcher · 01/04/2017 22:11

Robyn is typically used as the spelling for a girl and Robin for a boy, so I would go with Robyn. And Scarlett is lovely too. Both very sweet names.

coldcanary · 01/04/2017 21:26

Robyn and Scarlett are both lovely names.
Especially Robyn. We would have had that ourselves but it didn't go with the surname.

SlaveToDisney · 01/04/2017 21:20

Scarlett however might be very slightly biased.

Robyn is beautiful too

Lugeeta · 01/04/2017 21:16

Roybn (for a boy ) and Robin (for girl).

Scarlett only right spelling for a name!

BumbumMcTumtum · 01/04/2017 21:14

I love these names!
I would have Robyn and Scarlett.

Think my preference is for Robyn

Yika · 01/04/2017 21:13

Robyn is the loveliest overall. Scarlett if you're going for that option.

CleverQuacks · 01/04/2017 21:10

I have a Robin (a boy) I love the name but would spell it with a y for a girl.

MrsHughesCarson · 01/04/2017 21:08

Robyn
Scarlett

smileygrapefruit · 01/04/2017 21:07

Oops meant that to be slightly biased
