Does it sound too 'boyish'?

[NTMummy059]

Me and my partner are having a girl and firstly agreed on Sophie.. He then decided he doesn't like it..
We then chose Mia which I really like but now he's not too sure!
So he has suggested Robin/Robyn and really likes it but although I do like the name I'm wondering if it goes with the surname Harvey? Does it sound too much like a boy's name or am I looking too much into it?! Thank you!

I really like robin for a girl. Think it's nice spelt either way as well.

Nice, and different. Good to be the only one with a name in a class.

I like the name (it's a family name for me), and do think it goes with your surname.

I love Robin for a boy but dislike it for a girl, sorry.

So many pretty girl names out there. Robyn is very boyish imho.

Paige
Jessica
Freya
Roxanne
Alexandra

I like Robyn, it's pretty and one of my current favourites. Congratulations

I like robin for a girl. I did know one once and she said that when she turned up for meetings people were always expecting a man. Depends whether you think this could work in your dd's favour/ make her stand out or would just in fact be very annoying!

Robyn was on our list for dd, I like it :)

For me the y spelling indicates girl and Robin would be for a boy :)

Thanks.. I do think its the least popular out of our choices which is nice.. Just not convinced it sounds like a girl when written down :/

ruprekt I love girly names (freya, olivia, elsie) but DP is having none of it - he doesn't like 'cutesy names' ! So trying to compromise lo

I know a lovely little girl called Robyn and don't know any boy Robins. I think of it as a girly name now rather than even questioning it.

I like Robyn for a girl, and it's not too boyish, although also not girly.

I don't know any Robyns, but several (male) Robins - from 60 to 3 - who are all lovely.

Robyn is a very pretty name. I like that it also works as a womans name - sometimes I think people can be guilty of naming babies and not thinking of the adult they'll become.

Lovely name.

I love Robyn, I think the "y" would make me assume it was a female.

Robyn is great but if you aren't convinced then DP won't mind giving you the right to veto will he, after all he did. Lots of girls' names aren't 'cutesy'. Shall we make a few suggestions or will that just confuse the issue?

I agree it works as an adult too just don't want people to assume a man and her become annoyed at this..
Any other suggestions would be more than welcome Donkeys
Schmaltzing I like Sophia and Matilda but these got a "no" straight away - we cannot agree on a single name :(

I think either spelling is very pretty for a girl.

The more I think about it, the nicer Robyn seems but thinking hat on OP, here are some non-cutesy suggestions:

Skye
Fallon
Clare
Megan
Danielle (Dani)
Jane
Paige

Robin/Robyn is a bit unisex but I think it is perfectly fine for a girl and not too "boyish" at all. However, I think Mia fits with your surname the best, out of the three names you gave.

Non cutsy, Robyn, Paige, Bryony, Esme, Megan, Mia I know real characters called all of these. Umpteen variations on Isabel who are characters too.

Mind you I also know a Daisy, Grace and Lily who are more likely to be covered in mug than wearing a pretty summer dress.

Mud not mug

I agree Mia works really well with your surname.

I've never met a male Robin but know two female ones (adults); so to me it's primarily a girl's name. Not a massive fan personally (totally inoffensive, I just wouldn't pick it myself) but in answer to your question no, not too boyish at all.

It's always been a boy's name to me, although a bit of a twee one. I prefer Robert, a much stronger name for a man.

I also dislike names where the 'i' has been replaced with a 'y' and cannot see how this feminises a name. I knew someone who called her son Gavyn, for instance. She was the kind of person who puts a little circle over the letter i instead of a dot.
