Robert is definitely unusual for this generation, if someone wanted something unique that's the direction to go imo. Stands out a mile from the Alfie/Charlie/Ollie horde - will come into fashion again no doubt!

I was coming on here to suggest Roman but seeing as so many others already have maybe it can't be classed as 'unusual'! Love it though.

I am a pre-school teacher, we have a Rocco and a Reggie, both really suit them!

I wouldn't class Robert as unusual, I personally would think it rather old fashioned if I heard a baby just named that!

There are loads of Rowans... Not helpful
