I love the name Robin but DH has vetoed it Sad

RatRolyPoly · 21/11/2017 16:44

I knew a female Robyn - different spelling.

Fekko · 21/11/2017 16:30

I don't personally know any female Robins.

MammieBear · 21/11/2017 16:28

It's lovely, good associations Robin hood to name one, I prefer it as a boys name as it comes from Robert originally.

TerrysChocolateOrange761 · 21/11/2017 16:04

Love the name. But, to me, it's a name for a girl.

mummytwoh · 21/11/2017 13:22

I love it.

starkid · 21/11/2017 12:57

Lovely :)

RatRolyPoly · 21/11/2017 12:17

Absolutely love it, wish dh had been on-board for us to use it!

Littlehouseonthepraririe · 21/11/2017 12:16

Robin Banks !! Haha I did enjoy tht ^
I once met a Dwane Pipe 🙈🙈

peachytacos · 21/11/2017 12:13

Love it!! So gorgeous and classy!

Anatidae · 21/11/2017 11:59

Really lovely. A little bit unusual without being awful-unusual or try hard.

If your surname is banks, maybe not... :) but otherwise yes. I like it

LadyHonoriaDedlock · 21/11/2017 11:58

Yes! My teen Robin loves it (and has officially removed the 'normal' middle name I gave him as an insurance policy in case he didn't)

euanthesheepiloveyou · 21/11/2017 11:30

Love Robin for a boy. Gorgeous. Do it!

Congratulations! I love Robin. It would be on my list for dc2, but it doesn’t go with our surname.

Ttbb · 21/11/2017 09:43

Love it. Maybe Robert or something else grown up mannish on his BC

Thiswayorthatway · 21/11/2017 09:39

Great name

17caterpillars1mouse · 21/11/2017 09:33

Great name

scrivette · 21/11/2017 08:54

I prefer it for a boy, very nice name.

mum2be2boys · 21/11/2017 08:30

Lovely name! :-)

Freezingwinter · 21/11/2017 07:29

Oh please use it, it reminds me of Robin Hood and Christopher Robin, both of whom I love! It's gorgeous!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 21/11/2017 07:25

Lovely !😄

Littlehouseonthepraririe · 21/11/2017 05:56

Robin is a lovely name , many congratulations :)

tootsieglitterballs · 21/11/2017 05:07

I love it, considered it for this baby, but DH has an ex girlfriend called it...

NamasteNiki · 21/11/2017 01:19

Love it.

Can have Rob as a nn when older which suits everyone.

ArsenicNLace · 20/11/2017 22:35

Gorgeous but then I’m biased as I have a 13 year old one!

No one in his school has the same name so unusual whilst also being a recognised name.

Never gets shortened to ‘Rob’ either which was one of my slight reservations.
