Robin for a boy

[SomethingDifferentBloomed]

I’m 15 weeks with my first baby, I’m finding out next week whether it’s a boy or a girl but I’ve got slightly overexcited and I’ve already got a long list of names for both!

My top contender for a boy is Robin, I love that it’s classic but quite under-used. I don’t know whether people would tend to assume that Robin is a girl though? DH isn’t hugely keen but it does turn out we are having a boy I’m hoping to wear him down 😅.

Other boy names I like are Cedric and Jasper, basically anything that gets accused of being “wet” sounding on here.

Any thoughts or suggestions welcome!

Oh I love it!

Cedric is stunning. Please go for that.

I don't like Robin - too feminine.

Jasper is nice.

My brother is called Robin - it's a great name.
My friend also has a little girl called Robyn.

I think Robin with an I is definitely still more for boys in the UK. I quite like it.

Robin is a lovely name!

I like it for both. X

I know two adult Robins and they both go by Rob and hate people finding out that they're actually Robin.

Love Robyn for a girl but don't like Robin for a boy.

My dad is Robin and he is the most wonderful kind man so I'm all for it!

I like it but don’t use it if having a name that is “underused” is important. I know 2 under 6 months after decades of never having met one born later than the 1960s.

Thanks for all the feedback, it seems like the majority are in favour!

Perhaps “underused” is the wrong word but I want something that still feels fresh, but maybe that depends on where abouts in the country you are.

Anyway we had a scan yesterday that’s confirmed it’s a boy so now I just need to get my husband on board 😂

Robin also sounds wet to me.

Yeah, like I said, I like softer sounding names that do get accused of being wet on here. Different strokes and all…
