Congrats - My 6 week old daughter is called Robyn, so I'm biased it's a lovely name 😊

Middle name ideas we had included May, Kate (both family connections) and Emily but went for something different in the end!

Chunkymenrock · 12/12/2021 10:44

I do like it, but it just makes me think 'robbin' (a bank...) Laura, Tamsin, Heidi as middle name suggestions?

misshoney37 · 12/12/2021 11:01

Love Kate and Heidi as middle names :)
Thank you. I am fond of nature names but maybe not flowery names which are very popular with girls these days. I thought Robyn was quite unusual but not too out there.

I have an 11 year old Heidi, was the only Heidi in her large Primary School whilst she was there. Robyn was also on my list 😊

I've always liked Robyn. Modern yet timeless, a dash of Swinging ' 60s chic but never dated.
With such a strong and simple name you can afford to be a bit flamboyant with the middle name.

Robyn Melissa (ie, the bird and the bee)
Robyn Adelaide
Robyn Omara
Robyn Juliana
Robyn Tamasine
Robyn Amaryllis

Or you could call DD Robyn Banks.
Ha ha, I am Joe King. Wink

I prefer Robin. I've never understood replacing the I with a Y just because they're a girl. Maybe you have someone you could honour with a middle name?

Rrrob · 12/12/2021 14:03

Robyn and Heidi were both on my list. Lovely names!

Adventing · 12/12/2021 14:15

I think I slightly prefer the Robin spelling. Lots of middle names would suit, do you have any family names that would work?

misshoney37 · 12/12/2021 14:24

For me Robin is the male spelling. Robyn just looks a lot more feminine. Strangely I really don't like the name for a boy but think it's a lovely girls name.

Love Robyn, and agree with your about spelling.

Jojobees · 12/12/2021 15:40

Robyn Caroline. I’m biased though as this is the name of someone close to me.

wellingtonsandwaffles · 12/12/2021 15:43

Robyn is lovely! I would avoid two syllable middle names after a two syllable first but that’s just me!

Thefaceofboe · 12/12/2021 18:22

Absolutely love Robyn!

WeasilyPleased · 12/12/2021 23:13

Robyn is really pretty without being twee. Like you OP, I really dont like the namr for a boy.
Robyn Eloise is nice.

DramaAlpaca · 12/12/2021 23:14

It's OK. Better on a girl than a boy.

lucascriesalot · 12/12/2021 23:17

Delightful

Tulips21 · 12/12/2021 23:20

Not keen I'm afraid.
I'm not sure why though.

lynntheyresexpeople · 12/12/2021 23:22

Beautiful!

Robyn isn’t my style but it’s a perfectly nice name.

Skeumorph · 13/12/2021 11:18

I like it. Definitely Robyn, that IS the female spelling, plus it’s nicer anyway as otherwise just too much ‘the bird’

Only thing I’d short form, I’d dislike Rob on either girl or boy - but maybe they wouldn’t end up as that.

Skeumorph · 13/12/2021 11:18

I love Robyn, only for a personal reason I think it would be well up there on my list.
