Robyn or Erin

[Anon0987654321]

Last post for now..... I promise!
Robyn or Erin?
While do you prefer and why?
Older siblings Noah and Jacob. Short one syllable surname beginning with B.

Thank you.

Robyn

I prefer the traditionally male (in England anyway) spelling of Robin - I think it's pretty, I find Robyn a bit clunky (possibly all feelings due to people I've known!)

I don't like Erin - but again the three I've known have all been unpleasant.

As long as your surname isn't Bird I'd go with Robin.

Hm. Robyn is not nice at all. Erin is fine - if you have Irish roots. I wouldn’t use it otherwise. Neither go very well with Noah and Jacob, if that bothers you.

I love both these names however my OH decided he didn't like Erin 😢 turns out we are having a boy anyway but if it was just up to me Erin would be my first choice closely followed by Robyn

They are both lovely and go well with the other names. I know an Erin and she is a sweet, funny little girl.
I would wait and see if one in particular suits her when she's born. We ended up choosing an entirely different name for our youngest, we had never considered before as it just seemed more suitable.

Prefer Erin.

Neither really go with Jacob and Noah.

Erin much nicer
Robin I like for a boy. Now you're having a girl after two boys I think it'd be odd choice to pick a masculine sounding name (just giving my view- plenty will disagree I expect )

How about Edith, Eliza or Wren (sounds similar), Esther

I love Erin. I think it's due a comeback.

I love Erin. I think it's due a comeback.

It is back! I know lots - from late teens to primary school age - all with Irish links, though.

Erin but both are lovely

Both are lovely. I know American sisters called Robyn and Erin. They're in their 40s now. Great women. Robyn is the eldest and is blonde while Erin is brunette and is a vet. Maybe the extra bit of info could help you make a decision? Also, you could just wait until the baby arrives and see which name she suits better...?

Erin is lovely, personally I really don't like Robyn.

Another vote for Erin!

Both are lovely, but if your surname is Banks, dont go for Robyn!

How would your friends and family pronounce? Ndn dd's was Urin.... Sounded bloody awful!
Robyn is lovely.

I prefer Erin, I wouldn't use it though as it's really common.

I wouldn't use it here though

I'm in Scotland

Erin is a beautiful and elegant name, in my opinion

Both lovely, but Robyn pips it for me.

Like both. I have an Erin and she gets many positive comments on her name 😊 Only ever met one other child with the name in 4 years and I like that it isn't popular

I love Erin. I like Robyn too but I really don't like the female spelling of it! I like that Erin isn't girly, I hate frilly names and I feel like an Erin could be/do anything. My cousin is an Erin and is lovely so maybe I'm bias!

Erin works better with the boys names to me. I also prefer it over Robyn which looks a bit dated with the Y imo.

Both are nice, but with short B surname Erin will possibly sound better.

Erin. There's something about the Y in Robyn I don't like. Though the bird association is quite cute.

I like both. Would choose Robyn as a stand-alone but I think Erin goes better with the siblings' names. Depends on whether you want them to 'go' or not.
