Yeah - but not in the 'omg sexy sensitive unisex name on a boy! Ashley, Darcy, Morgan, and Robin on boys make me swoon!' way.
I mean I think it's handsome in the 'intelligently butch' way. It sounds bright, and masculine to me.
It was a boy name to me before it was a girl name, and despite having grown up around many female Robins, I still think it's too mannish for a girl (although it is so common for females that I don't bother reacting to it negatively in real life).
Alas, my husband does not agree. When I proposed it as a name for our son, he vetoed it, I think because in his experience also there have been more female Robins and it is too ambiguous or effeminate to him.
