What does everyone think of the name Robin, for a boy?

I like Robin as a nn for Robert. In fact, the possible nn Robin is one of the best parts about Robert.

Love, love, love for a boyA sweet name but dignified enough without requiring Robert which I also like. Given the bird/nature association I don't hate this on females (although I cannot stand the Robyn spelling) but I really enjoy this on males only.

Bleh. I have the feeling it's rather trashy. I have two (male) cousins called Robin but it never worked for me.

I like it, both on its own and as a nn for Robert.

I'm quite fond of Robin (which I consider thoroughly masculine).I once knew an elderly man named Robin -- his wife was Marky. Cute, no?

My best friend's name is Robyn (f) and I secretly prefer Robin for boys. It is a bit of a gp, but nothing I'd really want to use.

I like it, but I probably won't ever use it, sadly. My mom wanted to name my brother Christopher Robin, but my dad said absolutely not.

Not crazy about it for either sex, but it's all right.

I rather like it and have been thinking about it somewhat lately. It's really not bad.

I love it on a boy! I've never seen it used here in the US, only in Britain, so it seems very English to me.

I like it a lot, but only as a nn for Robert. I like more formal given names, and Robin is a bit too informal as a given name for my taste. But I think it's very handsome, and I prefer it on a boy rather than a girl.

Robin is a boy name where I'm from. I like it and I think it's a sweet name but I can also imagine it on a very masculine man. It's definitely underrated.

I definitely prefer this for a boy. It's underused, which is too bad. I'm sick of Robert; Robin would be refreshing. Plus, the connection to Robin Hood is great :)

I've always associated it for girl (I have an Aunt Robin so maybe that's why). Maybe as mn.

Thanks everyone, for your thoughts - it's my son's name and was just curious to hear what other's think of it. Obviously I love it :-)
