I much prefer it for a girl than for a boy, with the spelling Robyn.

I love it!

Robin is the female detective in JK Rowling / Robert Galbraith’s Strike series & she is cool.

I don't like the name at all, sorry!

I don’t like it, but it would be ok as a nickname for Roberta.

newreality1 · 13/10/2019 16:18

I think it is a beautiful name

Tehmina2 · 13/10/2019 16:18

I have an Uncle called Robin, Rob for short

Robyn is the most common spelling for a girl
Robin is almost always used for boys
It’s not to my taste but it’s a perfectly nice name

I like it. Would spell it Robyn.

I think it's a lovely name

One of my Angels is called Robyn. I think its a lovely gender neutral name but it is particularly nice for a girl. I would however spell it Robin as is will be easier for your daughter to explain. We chose the more unusual spelling so we wouldn't see it everywhere and we are the only ones who are going to spell it anyway

MaraScottie · 13/10/2019 16:07

Love it. I'd spell it Robin

Pipandmum · 13/10/2019 16:07

I think it’s masculine. Robina?
