Robin for a girl?

[insanitypack]

Sibling is Toby

Is ‘Robyn’ the feminine spelling? I like it.

Lovely, but I may be biased as DD1 good friend is named Robin and she is adorable so only positive vibes for me!

I quite like it. I’d spell it Robyn though.

Lovely but I would spell it Robyn for a girl.

I'm not sure about the spelling actually. I prefer the spelling Robin but wouldn't want a girl to think she's got the wrong spelling all her life!

Robyn for a girl. If you use Robin I’d assume you’d had a boy.

Robyn girl
Robin boy

Sorry

Robyn is just so ugly...

Back to the drawing board then

I love it. Robin with that spelling was on my short list for a girl.

It's a completely acceptable and correct spelling of the name for a girl.

I've never heard of it needing a Y for a girl? It's a type of bird, surely it's unisex.
Robin is beautiful, I had it on my list for a girl and I would have spelled it like that!

I don’t like it with a y either, it looks misspelled. I think the Robin spelling is fine for a girl or a boy.

I like Robin for a girl (also not keen on Robyn)

Yeah Robyn definitely looks misspelled

Lol @ ‘looks misspelled’

@DonDrapersOldFashioned

The past tense of misspell is misspelled in American English. However, in other varieties of English, misspelt is also acceptable.

That wasn’t my reason for laughing. There are so many made up, nonsense names put on ‘baby names’, it is funny that when a real, actual name with a genuine spelling comes along it now looks ‘misspelled’.

I love it, and I would absolutely use the Robin spelling for a girl.

I was raised on the Chalet School books though, so to me it is a girl's name.

If I saw Robin I would assume it's a boy, sorry OP

I think Robin is out for me. Sylvie/Sylvia is the next one I'm thinking of.

@DonDrapersOldFashioned when you consider more than one person named a child Jaxxon last year you might have a point 😂

Either Robin or Robyn are correct for a girl. I do just prefer Robin though.

Jaxxon is fucking awful

Love Robin - it can definitely be either spelled that way. Don't be put off OP!

I love it

Exactly si1ver

I'm not keen, but it's fine. Robin is traditionally a short form for Robert (as in Robin Hood) and nothing to do with the bird,, but it's fine for a girl too. I'd like it more as a short form for Roberta, though. I wouldn't be keen if it was a name after the bird.
