Robyn? Thoughts please!

Morning lovelies!

What are your thoughts on Robyn (for a girl)

Do you know many?
What nicknames might organically evolve?

💛

Not sure about nicknames but I like it. I’m a teacher and have never taught any. The ones I know are all in their 20s

I quite like it. I don't know any. It does feel slightly dated to me, in a similar way to Amber or Dawn, but it's much nicer.

Oh lovely!!!
Robbie would be a naturally occurring nick name, which is very sweet.

Just occurred to me people might buy her "Robin" themed presents her whole life.
That would get very dull very quickly 🙈

Love it.

Might get shortened to Rob or Bobbi but I guess that's in yours and your DDs hands.

The couple I have known have definitely been Robyns.

I really like it.I used to know one, she would be in her twenties now.

I like it

I like it. My 7 year old (year 2) DD has one in her class.

I like it, the two Robyns I know are just Robyns

I know a couple Robyns, lovely name! Nn could be "Ro" which is quite cute.

I prefer the spelling Robin. Bobby or Robby would cute nns.

I knew one who was always just Robyn. I don't think it naturally gets a shortened version, at least outside of family.
Weird, but I'm expecting, and if it's a boy it's going to be Robin, but I don't like it for a girl at all.

Robyn the Swedish singer is v cool so I vote yes.

I love it, and definitely prefer the spelling Robyn - in my mind Robin is the masculine version but either way it's a gorgeous name

I'm having nightmares people will call her Rob 😳 It's encouraging that the vast majority of you so far don't think she will!

I know from personal experience (with my name and my daughters) you don't always have control over what people shorten names to!

I think it's getting more popular. I prefer it for a girl but do know boys with it too. Good unisex name!

The Robins that I know never get shortened to Rob btw

How about Roberta. Bobby.
The only Robin I know is male. Congrats op.

I know a little girl Robyn-jane ( not actually Jane but just showing it's a double barrel name)
And a middle aged man Robin.
I do like it with a y for a little girl though

I love her!

My Dsis is a Robin. She's never ever had Rob (and is nearly 40!) she gets mainly just Robin, Bobbie when she was a toddler from some family friends. Her only nickname relates to her maiden name.

I love it.

Love it!! But personally prefer the traditional spelling (robin) regardless of gender.

I love Robyn for a girl (but don't like Robin for a boy; contrary). I really wanted DD to be Robyn but DH vetoed on the basis of not liking girls' names that sound like boys' names. Which I guess could be an issue, although these days it seems that names I thought were more commonly used for boys are often more likely to be girls' names (e.g. Sidney/Sydney)

It's getting increasingly popular if you look at the statistics and there's lots of names be going with a Ro... sound in the top 100 so it feels more popular than it even is.
It's nice enough but yes it could well get shortened to Rob as it's a natural shortening
