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

Roberta I mean. As the name Robin came from Robert.

@FontyMcFontface

Aderyn or Deryn (pn Derrin) means bird in Welsh.
Aderyn is also used to describe someone. 'Tipyn o aderyn' (a bit of a bird) means 'a bit flighty'.

Not suitable as a name.

How about Oiseau, Vogel or Lintu?

KirstenBlest I know two Aderyns and a Deryn. Never heard that expression but can see the meaning when you say it.

It would be used more about a bloke, and would suggest he was a bit of a player or just downright unreliable.

Dic Deryn was a Pobol y Cwm character.

It amazes me that anyone would want to call their child Bird, but what do I know.

Birdie.
Bobbie.

Batman?

Or Wren

KirstenBlest · 08/04/2021 11:28

Batgirl?

Robins are Zaryanki in Russian (singular is Zaryanka). The name comes from the word for sunrise.

I like the idea of another bird name to link in with Robyn/Robin and love Wren

Paloma means Dove

KoalaOok · 08/04/2021 19:49

Raven
Jay

@KoalaOok, and it means pigeon.

Thinking outside the box:

Marian (as in Maid)?
Or
Christina (as in female version of Christopher)?

Blue - the colour of their eggs.
