Both Robert and Robin are family names for me, and I would have used Robin rather than Robert. I don't think my cousin has ever been reminded of Robin Hood, and if he has, he's certainly never mentioned it or been bothered by it. Robin Hood is, or perhaps was, one of the great working-class heroes, after all: what's not to like?

I also taught a Robert who was often called Robin; he answered happily to both.
