Is Robison a name?

[RightAreYouSure]

DD wants to name DGS this name. NN Robbie. I've never heard it?

Yes, it's a surname. I've only come across it in lowland Scotland where it was a phonetic spelling of the way Robertson was pronounced, but it's probably more widely used than that. There are also plenty of examples of it as a first name in the Scottish records.

Looks like a misspelling of either Robinson or Robson to me. Both of which are surnames.

However, a quick google shows that it IS a name, if not commonly used (but still a surname): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robison_(name)

Looks like a misspelling. I've never heard of it.

It's a not-that-unusual surname (Shona Robison is an MSP) and there is a writer Robison Wells born 1978 (see wiki).

There's a famous potter called Jim Robison, so its not a misspelling, just unusual. I personally don't like surnames as first names but that's just me

Robert or Robin (Robbie), would be better.

What's wrong with Robson?

Yes, or Robson.

To be fair, the OP is the grandmother. She doesn't get a say!

No not a name!

No, it isn't.
