Robin for a boy

[whackamole]

What do you think? I and OH really like it, the only thing that turns me off, is that although it is unisex, you don't see it very often for boys anymore. This is the only thing that turns me off about it.

I know a lovely little 2-year-old boy called Robin (the only Robin I've met!). To be honest I don't hear of it being used very often for boys or girls, but I don't automatically think of it as a girl's name.

If you love it, use it :)

I think it is lovely and know a 7 year old Robin.

There are lots of unisex names (Rowan, Alex, Morgan, etc) and once you meet the person, then you remember if it is a male or female, no?

I love it. My Grandpa is a Robin, lovely name!

I'm glad the overall consensus (so far) is not girly!

I think really I was only put off because me sister said she wasn't keen. Well, it's definitely on the list now

My Ex dp was a Robin, so I am not keen. But I spose its quite a nice name.

I love it for a boy.

Fine if short for Robert. Twee and babyish as a name in its own right.

I know a little Robin... Nickname is Birdy!

It's a lovely name and I think of it as a boys name.

Robin is a lovely boys' name. I much prefer it to Robert (which is a completely different name imo).

The only Robin I know is in his 60's and there's nothing twee and babyish about him. Lovely name :)

Love it.

Beautiful name for a boy. Isn't the female version normally spelled Robyn?

Yeah, Robyn looks more feminine.

I love it and I know more male Robins than female Robins. So I'd probably think boy first.

I do think it's a bit feminine (even though the girls' equivalent has a different spelling) - sorry.

My dd is Robyn.
Dp's choice as he is a huge batman fan and we had already used Selina(Kyle=Catwoman) for the cat.
The only downside in later years is the Robin Hood jokes or the 'Where's Batman?'

That aside I do quite like Robin and he will be your son so nothing we all say should put you off
