Heidi or Robyn?

[Heatherbell1978]

DD1 due in February and I think we've (eventually) agreed on 2 names. We love Heidi and Robyn. Cons for Heidi is it doesn't sound as great with our surname (but not a deal breaker) and with Robyn, I'm not a bit fan of y's replacing i's in names but Robin to me as a boys name so we would spell Robyn. Favourite?

Robin! No need to replace the I with a Y
Robin is a lovely name

They're both gorgeous. I'm surprised Heidi isn't more popular, but. That's a good thing.
I think I'd go for Robyn though with her being due in the winter

I like both I would spell with a y though with an I it looks like the male version to me

No. Robin would be permanently misspelt by every teacher/club going. If you go with Robyn, spell the way it's supposed to be!

Both lovely names.

Heidi by a mile.

Robyn is a bit wishy-washy.

Love the name Robin. Agree that there's no need to replace the I. I hate the name Heidi but that's because a Heidi bullied me mercilessly in school

I'm thinking of calling our son Robin. I love it for both boy and girl but think I'd spell it Robyn for a girl. Females I know with the name all spell it with a Y.

Heidi.

Robyn with a y.

I love Robyn. I'd have chosen it for my lite girl, if I'd ever had one!

Heidi is lovely too.

Robyn or Robin. I like either spelling. Not mad about Heidi but it's perfectly nice.

I love Robyn, would spell it with the Y too because I think it's the natural spelling that immediately comes to mind so less likely to get mistakes. Think the smiley red-haired nurse in Casualty is Robyn!

I really like Heidi too, but always seems like a name for an older child or teenager than a baby?

Robyn.

Not Heidi...! (Imo, obviously)

But Robyn Heidi could be cute?

Heidi is wonderful.

(But if you do use Robyn spell it with a Y)

I like them both, but I like Robyn more. I would spell it with a y.

I'm sure I used to watch a TV show in the 80s about a Heidi? Swiss girl I think. That's the only one I know. (Well, I don't know her, but you know what I mean).

Heidi is ok. Robyn is a bit 80s.

Robyn is so lovely! I like it best spelt with a y.

"A programme in the 80s about a girl called Heidi"??

That was Heidi, an adaptation of Johanna Spyri's classic novel. A theme tune every child in our primary school could play on the recorder!

Heidi is lovely and never met one, Robyn ok but quite popular atm, both nice but Heidi is my favourite

Heidi!

If picking between the two - Heidi by a long way.

Heidi by a country mile.

I love them both. Both were on our short list (we picked one of them!)

Robyn.

And Heidi.

Oh God. Both are gorgeous. I cannot help you.

Heidi Robyn? misses point

Robyn
