Robin

Robin. I love it. Very superhero, batman and robin. River- anyone else got Timberlake 'cry me a river' in their head now?

Moondancer73 · 22/10/2019 20:05

River. Don't like Robin at all

spice3 · 22/10/2019 20:40

Robin. I'm not sure what I don't like about River but I've never been keen!

AdaColeman · 22/10/2019 20:58

Robin, don't like River at all.

rosesmammy · 22/10/2019 20:59

robin

WitchibanLipstickForMen · 22/10/2019 21:38

River by miles but the general mumsnet opinion will be Robin I'm sure Hmm

Congratulations by the way!

ohhahhjustalittlebit · 22/10/2019 22:11

River - I love it!

MissHenty · 23/10/2019 02:29

River is cool! I adore Robin though so I’d probably pick that but River is very close.

Astronica · 23/10/2019 03:27

I don't love either but would pick River.

Mollie3 · 23/10/2019 04:30

Like these names but I’d pick what flows best with last name

Robin means bright fame according to my baby names app
English name

River is American and means river!

Congratulations! From what you’ve said he sounds more like a river to me

Shadow1234 · 23/10/2019 07:44

River by far the nicest

AutumnalLeaves38 · 23/10/2019 07:51

Congratulations!

I vote for Pobin

AutumnalLeaves38 · 23/10/2019 07:52

God, no, Robin, obviously

KatherineJaneway · 23/10/2019 07:53

Robin.

I would always be thinking River Phoenix.

Raphael34 · 23/10/2019 07:53

Definitely river

Raphael34 · 23/10/2019 07:53

Can you post a pic, does one of the names suit him more? I’m imagining completely different babies for robin and river

chesterdraws1 · 23/10/2019 07:55

Robin

HasThisSoddingNameGoneToo · 23/10/2019 07:57

River is cool in theory but I don’t know if I’d force someone to have it as their name for life. Robin is awful.

SaharaSunset · 23/10/2019 08:06

River

Ontheblackhill · 23/10/2019 08:10

Robin as a know two girls called River. I know Robin can be a girls name but it is spelt differently.

user1493494961 · 23/10/2019 08:18

Robin, as River is ridiculous. (Although River if you're going with 'what flows best').

l12d04 · 23/10/2019 21:56

Love River. Would have used for my girl but it got vetoed 😒
