Robin

[ifeellikechickentonight]

What do you think of Robin - nn Bobby?

Other boy choices are Frederick nn Freddie or Jake but not as keen on Jacob

Older sister has a longer name with a more commonly used nickname so we'd like the same if DC2 is a boy

Any other suggestions along these lines?

Robin is a pet form of Robert. Bobby is a pet form of Robert.
Not keen on Frederick or Fred. Freddie is cute.
I like Jake and Jacob but you could have Jaques (pron. Jake-wis), or Iago/Jago or James as a long name. (Jacob and James are different versions of the same name).

Personally, I would go for just Jake.

Love Robin, like Frederick. Not keen on Jake or Jacob.

Jaques/Jacques is not pronounced "Jake-wis" surely! Isn't it "zhak"?

Jaques is, Jacques isn't.
Both may be pronounced Zhak.
Jaques is a shakespearian character.

Ooh, you learn something new every day! I quite like Jaques in that case, but I don't think many will know to use the Shakespearean pronunciation.

It would probably get no end of mispronouncing and correction but I do like it.

Bobby is cute and Robin is much nicer than Robert.

I like Robin much better than Robert. I'd probably shorten it to Rob, but Bobby is fine.

I adore the name Robin my other half vetoed it sadly

I have a Robin (DS1) so slightly biased, but yes love Robin, not many of them around but everyone knows how to spell and pronounce it. 😁
Have had many comments on what a nice name it is. We just call him Robin but expect he may become Rob or Bobby when older maybe.

I like Robin but not Bobby, Robin on its own is much nicer

I'm not a fan of Frederick or Freddie but I like Jake or Jacob

Love robin. Not so keen on bobby seems a really common name here and nearly every other child is called it

Prefer Freddie.
