Duedate is creeping up: Anders vs Robin

We’re due this month, but we didn’t make the final decision yet.

It’s between [name_m]Anders[/name_m] [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] and [name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m].

[name_m]Anders[/name_m] is a name that’s been on our short list for an eternity. While [name_u]Robin[/name_u] is been an old crush, moved to the GP list a long time ago. We love both of them.

We think [name_m]Anders[/name_m] ‘fits’ better into the sibset (not like that is super important), but there is the Breivik association. [name_u]Robin[/name_u] might be too out there, but it is also a nod to my dear father and DH’s grandfather (both named [name_m]Christopher[/name_m]).

Would you mind telling us your favorite?

I have always preferred [name_u]Robin[/name_u] for a boy. [name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] would be my choice.

Personally I prefer [name_m]Anders[/name_m] overall. It’s a great name and it fits wonderfully with [name_f]Esme[/name_f] and [name_f]Livia[/name_f]. However, I do like [name_u]Robin[/name_u] for a boy and I would like seeing it used more often. I think it’s ready for a comeback. You have two very nice though different options. I would probably just wait until he is born and decide then. It may become obvious which is the right name for your son once he’s born.

I like both, but I personally prefer [name_u]Robin[/name_u]. And it’s a very clever way to honor a [name_m]Christopher[/name_m], if you ask me :wink:

Ugh I like both a lot. [name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] is probably better since the family association.

[name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] is very classic sounding to me, and [name_m]Anders[/name_m] [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] more worldly. I prefer [name_m]Anders[/name_m] [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] by a good mile, but both are handsome. good luck!

I like both… [name_u]Robin[/name_u] a smidge more x

I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_m]Anders[/name_m]! I think with 2 girls already, [name_u]Robin[/name_u] will be mistaken for a girl too.

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Anders[/name_m] and is on our list too.

[name_m]Anders[/name_m] [name_m]Dominic[/name_m]! If you’re in the US, I doubt most people will remember Breivik.

I love [name_m]Anders[/name_m] & [name_u]Robin[/name_u] but I prefer the combo of [name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]. Something about the flow of [name_m]Anders[/name_m] [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] doesn’t work for me

[name_m]Anders[/name_m] most definitely, goes beautifully with [name_f]Esme[/name_f] and [name_f]Livia[/name_f]

I just love [name_u]Robin[/name_u] so much. I think it’s making a comeback as a boy’s name, so I wouldn’t worry about him being mistaken for a girl (I think somebody mentioned that might happen).

I honestly love both, but the familial meaning behind [name_u]Robin[/name_u] would probably swing it for me. What a great way to honour a [name_m]Christopher[/name_m].

Can I mix it up and say I like [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Dominic[/name_m]? :smiley:

I really like [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] but I dont like [name_u]Robin[/name_u] on a boy. I think I’d rather see [name_m]Anders[/name_m] as a first name, so I guess my vote is for [name_m]Anders[/name_m] [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] :slight_smile:

[name_u]Robin[/name_u] gets my vote!

I think both names are handsome, but I prefer the combo [name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]. I have a cousin named [name_u]Robin[/name_u], that goes by [name_m]Rob[/name_m].

I prefer [name_m]Anders[/name_m] by far.

I’ve only met female [name_m]Robins[/name_m] so I much prefer [name_m]Anders[/name_m] for a boy.

[name_m]Anders[/name_m] [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] is perfection! I’m not even a huge [name_m]Anders[/name_m] fan (I prefer [name_m]Andreas[/name_m], personally!), but [name_m]Anders[/name_m] is literally perfection with [name_f]Esme[/name_f] and [name_f]Livia[/name_f]! What a fun, European set! I love that [name_f]Esme[/name_f], [name_f]Livia[/name_f], and [name_m]Anders[/name_m] are all very distinct in sound (and nationality!), but somehow, they still work together seamlessly. I love the [name_m]French[/name_m] feel of [name_f]Esme[/name_f], the Italian feel of [name_f]Livia[/name_f], and the Scandinavian feel of [name_m]Anders[/name_m]. It’s fantastic. And [name_m]Anders[/name_m] [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] is a great combo. I like [name_u]Robin[/name_u], too, and [name_f]Esme[/name_f], [name_f]Livia[/name_f], and [name_u]Robin[/name_u] is nice, but not quite the perfection (imo!) that is [name_f]Esme[/name_f], [name_f]Livia[/name_f], and [name_m]Anders[/name_m]. :slight_smile:

Good luck!
