A brother for Robin

We love our son's name, it's popular with young and old, and we haven't yet met another little boy called Robin, and only one little girl. But what could we call his brother? I love that it's a traditional name, a culturally special bird that everyone is fond of, a nature name etc. But also has a modern feel to it. We have a girl's name sorted but really stuck for a boy's name. All ideas welcome!

Julian was my first thought. Or maybe Toby?

Love Robin. Jem is great too - my brother is a Jem short for Jeremy but these days it could probably stand-alone... for some reason I think of Johnny with Robin!

Thank you so much everyone, it's so hard to find boys names that we both like. Some great suggestions and food for thought here.

There's a cute little boy at dds nursery called Peregrine la Perry. Not my cuppa but it keeps the bird theme! Oh and there's Jay...sorry going off on a tangent!
