Looking for a lovely middle name for Robin (boy) - not too biblical or in the Royal family (no Edward/Andrew/Charles/William/Louis etc). Maybe something “masculine” as Robin is a unisex name?

Thanks 😊

Is there no family name you could use? Some suggestions:
James
Nathaniel
Carter
Elijah

You don’t have to give him a middle name, but if there’s nothing you’re set on, I would definitely look at his dad’s name/middle name, either grandfather or uncles (the baby’s ie your/baby’s fathers brother) or if you are having him christened & have chosen godfathers, one of their names.

Thanks. We don’t want a family name for number of reasons.

Or actually your surname if it’s nice.

We like a middle name. Family names no as overused (my DH has same name as DF and doesn’t want to reuse, not close to family members, royal names or different cultural background so clashes with surname, no godfathers - not religious)

DC will get both surnames like DC1 so we wanted both children have the same number of names (4).

I think of Jack as being a definitive male name so Robin Jack would be me choice. Other options:
(some are biblical but common)
Robin Paul
Robin Mark
Robin Luke
Robin Eric
Robin Sean
Robin Francis

Can u extend his dad's name by adding "son", ie Johnson, meaningful but not identical.

Any name you like, Maybe a name that you thought was too popular to use as a first name or something that might be a bit too unusual.
Oliver, Alexander, Fraser, Edgar...
