I love Robin but ruled it out myself because I don't like the nickname Rob. Plus Robert was a very popular name for my generation and I know a lot of Robs!

So I vote Joseph, it's a lovely name Smile

A few other names you might like:
Benjamin
Daniel
Reuben
Simon

Ooh. I haven't heard of a Robin in a long time. I'm going to put that one to my partner Wink

But Joseph is also a lovely name, that's bump chosen middle name!

No help at all since I like both Grin

MaidenMotherCrone · 20/07/2017 19:01

Robin

Sophronia · 20/07/2017 19:15

I like both, but I think Robin.

CPtart · 20/07/2017 19:21

Joseph.
Robin makes me think of Robin Cousins.

GreengageJam · 20/07/2017 20:11

Robin is gorgeous. I know a fab one year old Robin and he is lovely.

SueGeneris · 20/07/2017 20:14

Our Christmas boy is named Nathan, which means gift.

I love Robyn on a girl but for some reason don't like Robin for a boy!

Adore Joseph though.

Teacakequeen · 20/07/2017 20:53

Definitely Joseph

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 20/07/2017 20:56

Joseph, no competition !

HolyShmoly · 20/07/2017 20:57

I love Robin. It also helps that the one I know is a good looking, likeable and successful man so no negative connections!

BertrandRussell · 20/07/2017 21:00

Neither. He will get very bored indeed with all the "witty" remarks every single year.

HoneyWheeler · 20/07/2017 21:00

I teach a lovely little boy called Joseph so that wins hands down for me!

wizzler · 20/07/2017 21:38

Joseph.. but Nathan equally lovely and appropriate too

SuperBeagle · 20/07/2017 21:47

Joseph.

Not a fan of Robin at all.

SelfObsessionHoney · 20/07/2017 21:54

I have a Joseph.

BewareOfDragons · 20/07/2017 22:04

I can't think of Robin without thinking of the GIRL from How I Met Your Mother. I think it is name officially more a girl's name than a boy's name...

Joseph is a better boy's name. Or Gabriel, as has been suggested.

TheBakeryQueen · 20/07/2017 22:09

Joseph is gorgeous, but I am biased.

thefutureisfemale · 20/07/2017 22:11

My DH is called Robin and I must admit I hear the name very rarely in regards to anyone else. Might be nice if you want something less widely used?

akorda · 20/07/2017 22:16

Both lovely names IMO

StopHammerTime · 20/07/2017 22:18

Robin is my favourite boy's name, I just can't use it because of dodgy alliteration. Such a wonderful name, please use it OP!

Mrsknackered · 20/07/2017 22:39

Robin! The robin's I know aren't shortened at all if that helps.

Buntysoven · 21/07/2017 00:59

Joseph is my favourite ever boy's name.

Jemimapuddleduk · 21/07/2017 09:10

Oh I adore Robin, such a gorgeous name.
