Brother to Winter?

[Snowwy]

We have a daughter named Winter - she goes by Winnie.

We are expecting a son.

We absolutely love Robin. We are keen on the NN Bobby. We don't like Robert but it's just too much of a theme, isn't it?

I thought the theme was Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin

Ha ha 3Eggses, 😂😂
I also like and prefer Robert.
You just never can tell, on Mumsnet !

I know a Bobby who is really called Robin. It makes me laught that people think Winter and Robin are cheesy but suggest things like 'Lake' - who in the world is called Lake?!

Robin is lovely. Use that.

Robin is nice. And they're your children, if you choose to have Bobby as a nickname it's none of anyone's business.

I think Robin is fine, and I have come across Bob as a nn for Robin (although this was further shortened to Bo).

Winter and Robin
No

I like Robin and it I don't see a problem with Rob/Robin and Winnie at all.

Loving your user name to complete the theme!

Robin nn Bobby is fine with Winter :) I know 2, both a male Robin & a female Robyn, so not too popular round here

I'm not one for themes usually, but I really like Winter and Robin together - helps that Robin happens to be one of my favourite boy's names! I say go for it.

I suppose Robin isn't usually shortened to Bob because it is already, traditionally, a diminutive of Robert, just a different diminutive. I really like Robin but don't like Bobby as a diminutive of it.

Wulfric & Lake are offered as valid suggestions yet Robert is deemed awful?!

I wasn't offering Wulfric & Lake though! I just don't like names like Robert, Albert & so on, for me -bert is a really ugly sound. Not for plenty of other people, of course.

I love the name Winter and Winnie for short, I think it's just beautiful. I don't like the name Robin tbh but only because I don't like the name. Not that it matters what anyone else thinks, if you love the name then use it.

I forgot to say that I do think Bobby is a very cute nickname.

Why the hell would you call your child Fox or Lake?? These are children, not nature trail artefacts!
eyes roll so hard they fall onto the floor

I love Robin.

I don't think people IRL would particularly notice (or care) about the slight link between Winter and Robin, particularly not if you see using diminutives.

Lovely names!

Robert is a lovely name. Robin is OK. Bobby not my favourite.

Go for Robin (Bobby) it goes very well

Does it not make other people think of Winnie the Pooh (and Christopher Robin?). Not that that's any reason to not use those names (I think Robin is fine, very sweet really) but did no one else make that connection?

Someone did, Not!
