I really love [name]Robin[/name] in the mn spot for a girl (I love it on a boy in the fn spot, but that’s a whole other thing) but I don’t like [name]Robyn[/name].
I guess I just am anti-Y! It looks off to me.
What I want to know is do you think [name]Robin[/name] is a unisex word/nature name like [name]Sterling[/name] or [name]Wren[/name]? Or does it need to get girled up like Elliotte or [name]Everette[/name]?
Thoughts?
I was always under the impression that it was a [name]Peter[/name]/[name]Peta[/name] type name. But behindthename lists [name]Robin[/name] as unisex, and [name]Robyn[/name] as feminine only. Also, being the name of a bird, it takes that meaning away if you put the ‘y’ in (I hate ys too).
If you need any more convincing, the middle name is an anything goes for me - so go with what you love!
I don’t know it for the US, but in Germany it’s written [name]Robin[/name] for both sexes, though more common for boys. So definitely not weird to me and I agree, [name]Robin[/name] looks better than [name]Robyn[/name], not a “y” fan either.
[name]Robin[/name] is the best spelling for a boy or a girl. It’s the name of a bird and should be spelled correctly.
[name]Robin[/name] to me is unisex and [name]Robyn[/name] would be just for a girl.
[name]Robin[/name] is a reasonable spelling and [name]Robyn[/name] is trying to be creative, [name]Robin[/name] is technically unisex sure but very heavily feminine to me.
I’ve only ever met female [name]Robins[/name], so don’t think it needs to be “girly-ed up” to make it more suitable for a girl. It’s pretty just the way it is.
I know male and female [name]Robin[/name]'s and think it works fine on both.
