Middle names alluding to or including robin/Robyn

This might sound daft. Looking for a female middle name that might incorporate robins (the bird) as a tribute to some family.

Not keen on robina/robin eye and open to it being non English.

Thanks

Why not Robyn?

Saisong · 05/04/2021 20:32

Robinette?

Go with the red theme?
Ruby
Scarlett

Oops, sorry robinette was in the original and autocorrected. Grew up with a robinette so prefer not.

Also not keen on Robyn but unsure why!

Might be a bit of a stretch but Merle (usually meaning blackbird) can be used for the American Robin

Queenoftheashes · 05/04/2021 20:47

Robia?

PandaFluff · 05/04/2021 20:58

Reuben (not linked as far as I know but similar letters and feel)

PandaFluff · 05/04/2021 20:59

Oh sorry! Just saw it's for a female.

Sky(e)?

PandaFluff · 05/04/2021 20:59

Roberta

NellietheNumpty · 05/04/2021 21:02

It is Merle in French if that helps.

Foxhasbigsocks · 05/04/2021 21:04

Robina is a lovely name - I knew a chic quirky one

Foxhasbigsocks · 05/04/2021 21:05

Ah I see you don’t like robina! Sorry op

optimistic40 · 05/04/2021 21:06

I used to work with a Robina

Foxhasbigsocks · 05/04/2021 21:06

Or you could go for names that mean red or are associated with red, like the robin? Eg

Cherry
Scarlet

Etc

PandaFluff · 05/04/2021 21:07

Rohanna

optimistic40 · 05/04/2021 21:27

Oops I missed the Robina reference. I don't know other Robin names!

ZoyaTheDestroyer · 05/04/2021 22:10

Depending on how tenuous a connection you could cope with:

Robin is a diminutive for Robert, so Roberta?

Alternatively, the Italian for robin is pettirosso, which you could feminise to Pettirossa.

Foxhasbigsocks · 05/04/2021 23:44

Roberta is also the name of the heroine in the Railway Children which is a lovely connection

ILoveShula · 07/04/2021 10:13

Merle is blackbird in French

ILoveShula · 07/04/2021 10:15

Ruby?

KoalaOok · 07/04/2021 10:17

Wren?

FontyMcFontface · 08/04/2021 07:50

Aderyn or Deryn (pn Derrin) means bird in Welsh.

FontyMcFontface · 08/04/2021 07:50

Or go for another bird name... Linnet etc?

CakesOfVersailles · 08/04/2021 07:55

Robert I guess.

But if it is tribute to family just use Robin/Robyn I say.
