Sylvie or Robyn

[Wellington17]

DP and I have whittled it down to two names for our little girl due in March. Which name do you prefer? I keep flitting between the two... DP is slightly more in the Robyn camp, but loves both. I THINK I'm slightly more in the Sylvie camp, but that might just be because I'm flitting that way today. I'm hoping she'll just come out and look like one of them!

DDs name is Maggie.. I think Robyn goes slightly better as they don't end with the same sound, but I think Maggie and Sylvie is OK too.

Sylvia is an OK if not very old fashioned name, and Sylvia is a decent abbreviation.

Robyn is quite masculine in my opinion, I know it's a male (Robin) or female (Robyn) name, but I would assume it were a boy if a parent were shouting it at the park...

*Sylvie is a decent abbreviation.....sorry, autocorrect.

Robin, spelt with an i. It goes well with Maggie and is a gorgeous name. Disclaimer - it's my eldest child's name. I spell it with an i as I just think it looks more authentic.

Robyn Green
Elowen Green
Xanthe Green

Or other suggestions for a first name to go with green that says to you adventure loving, explorer type

(Not for a baby but for a teenager. Niece writing a short story for school and wanted me to post to see what people think)

Sylvie by a country mile

It is a classic and can't be compared to the name Robyn/Robin.
Btw I thought the male spelling was Robin and the female spelling Robyn.

I think Sylvie is lovely. It’s more unusual sounding.

Robyn

I also agree that Robyn sounds more like a boys name. I think because it might get shorted to Rob or Robbie.

Sylvia then shorten to Sylvie.

I’m not too bothered with the unisex nature - in fact I quite like it! I know a little girl called Drew which I love, but our surname starts with a P. Can’t saddle a person with the name Drew P .

Robin but spelt this way

They're both lovely, but I'd go with Robin spelled with an i.

I just can’t get on board with Robin/Robyn for a girl, especially the Y spelling which just looks really off to me.

Sylvie is lovely. A bit twee with Maggie maybe but much more the same style than Robyn.

Robyn with a Y for a girl. It's my name and I love it. I never got anything personalised, but even if it was spelt with an i, I wouldn't have 😂

If my name was spelt with an i, I wouldn't like it anywhere near as much 🤷🏼‍♀️
