Hi,

I’m in need of some opinions please!

We are registering our lovely little girl tomorrow and I’m not 100% set on her name. My favourite name changes on a day by day basis.

Robyn - this was my favourite through pregnancy and I do still really like it. dh really likes this. However now I’m worried it’s a bit boyish. I also think of the birds and I’m not sure I like that. Rob is boyish and Byn is like bin.

Caitlin- clashes a little with our surname and brother is William so the issue is Will and Kate as per a previous thread. I think dh likes this least but I like it the most.

Alyssa - a bit of a wildcard option. Dh likes this and it goes well with our surname but it’s come out of the blue so it feels risky and we’ve no time to think about it!

Thank you!

Robyn or Alyssa.

Caitlin is nice but seems a bit dated and if it doesn’t go with your surname eliminate it.

Alyssa Robyn is lovely

Love Alyssa - strong yet elegant at the same time, plus it’s not too common. Robyn is alright, Caitlin is way too dated and really boring

Thank you! I think I’m going to go for Robyn xx

Lovely choice! Thanks so much for letting us know!

They’re all nice names. I know of a young Robyn who goes by Robbie if that potentially bothers you.

I do like this, I like most -lyn names but unfortunately I’ve no time to consider any more names! Thank you for the suggestion though :)

What did you end up going with?
I love the name Robyn and almost used it for my DD but changed my mind

Honeybeebuzz · 20/03/2024 18:48

Nevermind just saw the above message, glad you went with Robyn

Robyn

Alyssa gets my vote

bloodyeffinnora · 20/03/2024 19:34

sorry too late

BinkyBeaufort · 21/03/2024 10:22

I wanted to call my baby girl Robin but DH vetoed it. 36 years later I've still not forgiven him.
Do it for me!

BinkyBeaufort · 21/03/2024 10:23

Oh you've decided 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
