No

I like it but prefer Robin for a little boy

Astronica · 15/12/2019 03:13

I really like it.

daisypond · 14/12/2019 23:51

No. I really dislike it. OK if short for Roberta.

When I was young I had a granduncle called Robin. I always thought I would like to use it as a baby name for a boy or girl. I never said it aloud. My DB and SIL used Robin for my nephew. Next favourite was Milo, also never said it aloud, that's what they called their dog. So I think it's a lovely name though I prefer the spelling Robin to Robyn or Robynn

Lovely!

Batmanandrobin123 · 14/12/2019 20:25

I love it. It's a lovely nature name without being flowery or cutesy.

Hawkinsfirefly99 · 14/12/2019 20:23

Love it but couldn't have it as just called our little boy Robert

It's better for a girl than a boy, and I like that spelling. So I suppose it's a yes Grin

17caterpillars1mouse · 14/12/2019 18:27

I like it alot

TempsPerdu · 14/12/2019 18:12

Yes, very nice - was on our shortlist for DD.

Cuddling57 · 14/12/2019 17:45

Makes me think of Stranger Things so yes from me Grin

Postmissposte · 14/12/2019 17:43

I prefer it spelled Robin. I know that's not normal for the girl version but I just dislike the look of Robyn.

LilyPinkNoah · 14/12/2019 17:42

I love it a strong contender on my list

Nonnymum · 14/12/2019 17:42

I don't know why but I really dislike it. Doesn't matter what I think though if you like it use it

Pipstelle · 14/12/2019 17:40

For girl it's lovely. For a boy it's a no.

Dinosaursdontgrowontrees · 14/12/2019 17:03

Yes! It’s a great name!

Bluewavescrashing · 14/12/2019 17:03

Love it.

Apple35 · 14/12/2019 17:02

Yeah I like it 😀

JonnyPocketRocket · 14/12/2019 16:55

Gorgeous name! We had a boy but Robin was on our list for him - if he'd been a girl we'd definitely have considered Robyn.

namechangenumber2 · 14/12/2019 16:53

One of my favourites!

MerryGrinch · 14/12/2019 16:52

Great

Lavenderblues · 14/12/2019 16:19
