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.
