I love it! I like the Robyn spelling too.

It's fine for a boy too, but I prefer it on a girl. It works both ways.

I've posted on this before. I have a 28-yr-old dd with this name. It wasn't all that popular at that time--1984--but in the US was used nearly exclusively for girls. She's loved the name, and it totally fits her. She's lived in Switzerland for the last ten years, however, and there it's presented a bit of a problem because it's assumed she's a guy--not in person of course, but on emails, or written documents (works as editor & lobbyist), and when she and her dh put a name plaque on their apartment door, everyone goofed on how it did sound as if they were a same-sex couple. But this is going to happen with a myriad of unisex names, right?
(She does on occasion, but mostly as a nn, go by Robina).

So, now she is pregnant. If her baby is a girl, it is a priority of hers to find a name that is distinctly feminine.

I think its a great way to honour him.
I love the name in any case.

Robin is one of the very few truly unisex names that I love. As a nn for Robert it's darling. As a bird/nature name on a girl it works beautifully. I love the bouncy feeling I get from it too.

Thumbs up here. :-)

I dislike it. I think a girl's name should be feminine and pretty to some degree, and Robin, to me, just isn't either one of those things.

I think it's really cute. Much cuter and more down-to-earth than Sparrow or Wren or Lark.

I knew an incredibly obnoxious girl named Robin, but somehow she didn't spoil the name for me.

I only like it for a boy. It's used as a boys name were I live, and Robin on a girl makes me think of "How I met your mother".
