Help! Our little girl is now 9 days old and we are still struggling to choose a name.

It is a choice between Quinn or Robyn...

Would love some help yo decide please :)

I have a Robyn, nicknamed Bobbi and I still love the name - it’s one that I’ve found can transition well from cute little girl to stubborn tweenager in a way some names don’t do well.

Dalekjastninerels · 05/06/2022 11:23

Robyn would be my first choice.

restedbutexhausted · 05/06/2022 11:21

You been watching Scandal? Hmm

I prefer Quinn.

SquigglePigs · 05/06/2022 11:20

Robyn is lovely. Not a fan of Quinn I'm afraid.

I know two girls with these names. Both are lovely!

Since you have had a baby girl, Robyn.

Omg don't do Quinn because kids at school are gonna learn the word quim at some point.

Robyn is a lovely name though!

Definitely not Quinn!

Newtothis777 · 05/06/2022 11:09

I like Quinn. Not keen on Robyn at all. Go quinn

Robyn

pinklavenders · 04/06/2022 14:42

The only Quinn I know is a boy.
Young teen, no issues with name calling at school.

The (male) Quinns I know have not had any issues either. I think it's a great name and Q is a cool initial.

Robyn

Quinn seems to a non-binary name in my teen's circle.

I have a SiL called "Robin", which used to confuse some people. She coped.

I like Quinn for a girl. I know of two lovely ones. I've never heard a child use quim in my teaching career.

Needanotherholidayasap · 04/06/2022 13:44

Robyn is lovely. I would assume Quinn to be a boy.

Pennyhill22 · 04/06/2022 13:43

Robyn

pinklavenders · 04/06/2022 13:43

Quinn is a boys name. I know two boy Quinns and one Quentin nicknamed Quinn.

Robyn is much more suitable for a girl!

esoryelneh · 04/06/2022 13:18

Don't do Quinn

She will probably be called quim. A slang for a vagina. And they sound almost identical.

Robin is nice.

Luredbyapomegranate · 04/06/2022 12:57

Robin, ideally spelt like that. it’s great

Quinn is grim

Notanotherwindow · 04/06/2022 12:55

Robin. Though I think we need cute squishy baby photo to advise best.

romdowa · 04/06/2022 12:45

Quinn is a surname. Robyn is much much nicer

KirstenBlest · 04/06/2022 12:45

Robyn

Mol1628 · 04/06/2022 12:44

Robyn

Wouldn't worry too much about name calling though kids will always come up with something. Unless it’s something really bad like fanny.
