Robin
Replies
I love the name Robin for a boy! I would probably never use it IRL though, because the name has already been used in my family (on a female).

I love it. I actually prefer Robin on a boy.
I like a lot, especially with Henry.
Thumbs up
I love it. I really dig the association with Robin Hood.
I know two male Robins right now. One is my landlord and in his fifties, and the other is a classmate and in his 20s. The name suits both of them fine. I also know two female Robins. One is the daughter of my landlord and she goes by Robbie. She's around 11 years old. The other is a woman who actually spells it Robyn.
I don't think of Robin as popular. I can't remember seeing that on anyone's favorite list here at all, nor do I recall seeing any recent announcements. It's actually not even in the top 1000 at the social security page. Last year it ranked at all was 2004.

Henry and James together almost always amuses me just because of the author Henry James. Brilliant but odd man. :)
I don't care for Robin, but then, I never really have. I think a boy could work it, but I don't see the point. It's just unappealing to me. Sorry. Also, to be honest, it doesn't really feel like Henry or James to me.
+ I do like Bear's suggestion (as usual) about using it as a NN for Robert. Robert, Henry, and James do go well together.

Henry, James and Robin all sound very English to me. I would much rather see Robert on a boy. I just don't like Robin, it's not a terrible name but I prefer it on a girl. You don't see it on little kids much these days though.
