Robin or Robyn

[Sianela]

Thinking of Robin as my mum’s maiden name was Robinson. But I prefer the Robyn spelling though. Is Robyn used for girls only? This would be for a girl but I just wondered

Robyn for a girl, I think.

Robyn but just because I wouldn’t want to use “bin”

Yes, Robyn is the female version.

Robyn for a girl Robin for a boy although I don't like it for boys

Robyn is OK for a girl. I don't like Robin for either sex at all.

Robin. I know several men called Robin and they all spell it with an I. Robyn is for girls.

Robyn is lovely. And a nice gesture..

I think of Robin as unisex but Robyn only for girls. I prefer Robin.

It used to be y for girls and i for boys. I know a fair few girls with the i spelling now. I much prefer it myself and don't like the name for a boy, either way, but would use i if I did

I prefer the Robin spelling over Robyn for a girl. Lovely name. If it had gone with our surname we would have picked it for our DD as it was by far my favourite

Robin is the male spelling, why add confusion when you don't have to?

I much prefer Robin - for both sexes, it just feels more classic and has that tranquil, nature vibe as it reminds me of the bird. Robyn (although more popular again now) has a bit of a 70's/80's vibe to me and looks misspelt imo.

I have a girl Robin. Go with what you prefer. Robyn is a relatively new spelling. Robin is unisex.

Robyn is for girls
Robin is the boys spelling.

I've only ever seen Robyn used for girls, but Robin is unisex. Honestly, I prefer Robin for a girl - Robyn always looks a bit like a made up spelling and takes away from the nice naturey vibe.

Robyn for a girl, Robin for a boy, both gorgeous names.

"Robyn always looks a bit like a made up spelling and takes away from the nice naturey vibe."

Totally agree!

Robin is lovely and suitable for men or women. Robyn is a (probably American) mispelling, like the dreadful Rachael or Kathryn, please don't use it.
