I like Robin for a boy but I think that many associate with women nowadays. Would you want to use it as a middle name?

The only Robin I know is male, so I don't have a problem with it on a boy.

How about:

Robin Sebastian
Robin Finnegan
Robin Samuel
Robin Duncan
Robin Benoni
Robin Archer
Robin Alasdair
Robin Zuriel
Robin William
Robin Thomas
Robin Tyler
Robin Tyson
Robin Nigel
Robin Nikolai
Robin Orlando

I have always thought it was quite mannish on women and girls and felt that its use as a girl name was just a fad - now it's a totally dated name on a woman, but still classic on a man. Doesn't matter how many I meet, it's a boy name. Robin Hood, Christopher Robin, Batman & Robin. Leach, Hitchcock, Cousins, Cook, Williams. I like it as a boy name and would use it (husband didn't like it though, and it doesn't go well with our surname).

I know a few male Robins and haven't seen any little female ones about lately so nope, don't think it's too girly at all, and I like it a lot.

Totally usable; he can always go by Rob if necessary, which is perfectly acceptable. I personally really like Robin on a boy as it reminds me of Christopher Robin, Robin Williams, and the bird.

I know three female Robins and one male Robin. The male one got teased for his name a bit, but he's not effeminate in the slightest. Still, I like it more for a girl.

I think Robin is great for a boy. I also think it's usable, I mean why not? It's so handsome for a boy.

It's my friend's middle name and I like it on him. Did I mention his first name is Christopher?

Real person. His parents really did that to him.

Shhh... it's my long time number one favourite. :)

I think Robin is friendly, handsome, medieval, songstery, easygoing, clean and douche-proof. In my eyes, it's always been essentially a boys name.

It is used for boys where I live, and I only like it for boys. I find it hideous on a girl and I think it would work great on a boy as well. But you could always use Robinson "Robin" or something like that if you wanted too.

Totally usable for a boy. I think it's a tad bit boring, but it's an okay name. I know quite a few guys named Robin and only one girl.

I'd highly recommend a MN that eliminates any doubt that it's meant as a boys name.

It's usable, but only just, at least here in the US. There is Robin Williams, but in general Robin is decidedly a girls' name. I think it's cute for a girl, but kind of mincey on a boy.

Totally male and totally usable. Robert is a family name going back generations, but given enough boys I'd have ditched it in favour of the livelier Robin.

Robin Edward
Robin Frederick
Robin Alexander
Robin Clive, funnily enough - I usually dislike Clive but it seems to work here
Robin Petronius, just for fun!

I like Robin for a boy and am pretty neutral on Robyn for a girl - I don't like the spelling Robin on a girl.
