What do you think when you hear the name Robyn?

[Indecisive1011]

Is it well liked?

That's Guinevere!

Ellacott

But idiots like me will mix it up!
It also sounds like a cake!

Completely untrue, there are loads of female Robins.
I think it is a much nicer spelling

It clicked for us as all the girls were being named Ruby at the time and we liked it but we wanted dd to be named after someone important from history (as DS was). So we gave her Robyn (as in Robin Hood). We dithered over Robin or Robyn but decided to go with the established non-US girl’s version so she wouldn’t get any mix-ups when older. She was also a Christmas baby.

I like it. I’m not so keen on the nn options but it’s only 2 syllables so doesn’t need a nn. I think it’s versatile and suits a child, a cool teen and adult.

American. Overdone.

That's why I said "usually" 🙂

I know both a Lilith and a Genevieve - they both HATE their names and are alway Lily and Ginny.

Really like it. But mainly because of Ellacott I think!

Guinevere not Genevieve actually but that was also on my list at one point 😂
Hazel is top 100, up 177 places in 2024 so on the rise and I’ll give you Sylvia/a being an old lady name but that’s why I love it 😂
DH list is full of cutesy names that I can’t see on a grown woman 😅

Love it for a girl. Find it very wet for a boy.
But for a girl I think it’s pretty yet cool. Timeless and ageless and can be shortened to lots of things other than Rob. Like the nature element too. Gorgeous.

It makes me think of an amazingly lovely lady I know called Robyn.
Also Robyn the singer who is v v cool.

Male Robins give me the ick a bit.

Anyway this wasn’t about my name suggestions, back to the OP 😂 sorry for the derail 😅

Nice name! Only thing it reminds be of is Rihanna as its her real name x

I'm afraid I don't like it. I'm not sure why but that's just my personal taste.

Ellacott

Robyn is sweet for a girl.

I prefer Robin like the bird. And it makes me think of the Chalet School.

Robin as a diminutive/pet name for Robert is traditionally male, but Robin as a nature name is unisex and variable. I'd say in the UK the Robin version still skews mainly male but in the USA adult Robins are more often women. I wouldn't use Robyn for a boy (although it's not unheard-of) but I'd probably use Robin over Robyn for a girl (unless you want to avoid the bird connection).

There’s a little girl called Robyn in my sons class and the poor thing is not very well cared for and scruffy so it reminds me of her but b4 this it reminded me of a Tom boy type child like George in the famous 5 books.

Well, I usually think ‘batman’.

I like it though.

you could nn Bobbie

The Robyn I know is 19, feisty, funny, and ambitious (athlete). She’s amazing and I wish I had had half the self confidence she has.

Robin -no need for the Y is beautiful and simple yet different from so many repeated current names.
I visualise a little rosy cheeked cherub with that name, i also like your other options very much.
