Robin for a girl

DD is due in 8w.

I love the name Robin (as in the bird) but DH thinks it's Robyn for a girl and Robin for a boy.

I hadn't known that. I thought Robyn was just an alternative, American?!, spelling.

I thought Robin was for boys and girls. I'm really not keen on the y spelling. Not sure why!

DH is persuadable but would DD spend her life correcting the spelling if we go with Robin?

@FantaHouse Love your daughter's names! Beautiful.

I have a teen boy Robin but love it for a girl or boy.

Congratulations - wonderful news on your new arrival and thanks for coming to tell us the outcome of the name discussion.

P.s. Are we allowed a picture so we can see how much it suits her (am sure it does, perfectly)?

Awww massive congratulations! I have a boy Robin and he's often asked 'with an i or a y?' he's just met a female Robin in High School who has also been asked this most of her life too!
