原My dad was named Robin, and I have a good friend named Robyn. I like the name for men better than women but I do see that the bird association is more feminine, although the brightest, most noticeable Turdus migratorius are, of course, male. Spelling the female name with a "y" seems preferable to me.

原My name is Robin and I am female. My parents named me this after the bird. I believe decades ago parents went with simple names. I have been the only Robin that I have known for the greater part of my life. I love my name. I think it is a very strong and independent name. It has character. I can't imagine being called anything else. When it comes down to it, it doesn't matter what your name is. It is not the name that makes the person but their character.

原As far as I'm aware Robin spelt with an I has always been the usual male spelling. I have only ever met two or three other Robins. It's quite an unusual name and on a personal note; one of the few good things my parents ever did for me. The only women I've ever met with the name spelt it with a y.

原My little (female) cousin bears this name, as her dad is a bird expert. The name seems feminine to me.

原Robin Branaugh was the best friend of the main Character in season 1 and 2 of Young Dracula.

原Robin is the customizable avatar in 'Fire Emblem: Awakening'. He's also a playable character in 'Super Smash Bros.' for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.

原I am a Robin. My parents chose the name well in advance of my birth and, though I am a female, my name would have been the same had I been male. I have personally known 3 others with my name, all my age and older (I am 63), two women and one man. Growing up my best friend was named Robin also. I find my name unique and seldom heard and I love being different in that way.

原The name Robin was given to 174 baby girls and 104 baby boys born in the US in 2012. I personally prefer it on a boy.

原Love this name but curses why does it have so popular anyway?! I want to share the name even though this makes no sense to me.

原Robin is a girls name. I don't care that it came from Robert. A robin is a bird. I think of birds as sweet and delicate creatures; boys should be named for big & strong animals, like Wolf.

原I like this name. I find it more masculine than feminine, but as a first name, I think it would be better suited to girls. Other than that, it would make a great middle name for a boy!

原Robin Charles Scherbatsky Jr. is a (female) character on the TV show, "How I Met Your Mother." She was named after her father, who was disappointed to have a daughter, having always wanted and expected to have a son.

原I adore this name! It is a sophisticated name for a strong woman. If I have another daughter, I will name her Robin.

原I think it's a nice girls name if a little 40 years ago but I really love it on boy, it seems much more timeless and whimsical because of Robin Hood, Robin the Boy Wonder & Christopher Robin - all male characters.

原Great for a girl! I'm in favor of tasteful bird names - Wren, Finch, and the like.But it sounds too fictionalized for a boy; reminds me of Hood or Peter Pan. Someone in green tights- haha!

原A former male colleague of mine, is named Robbin. With two bs.

原I adore this as a boy's name! I think it's partially do to the Robin character on Teen Titans. It seems too choppy and masculine on a girl, but slightly lyrical on a boy. I'd love to name a son Robin Judas.

原Also used in Sweden. [noted -ed]

原Pronounced ROB-in.

原I know a female Robin, and a male Robin who is twelve. I never knew it was a unisex name until I met him.

原Pronounced RAW-bin.

原Those "debating" whether Robin is more masculine or feminine probably need to get their priorities straight. There are more important issues out there. However, as the authors of this website pointed out, many parents who used the name may have been influenced by the bird. Bird names are not as common as flower names or jewel names, but when they do occur they are often feminine (Lark being a trendier example). Even Jay is at least sometimes used for girls. The variant spellings of "Robyn" and "Jaye" may be used to signal that the bearer is a female--since variant spellings are often just that, signals that the bearer is a female. However some parents may find these spellings a little TOO fancy or artificial for their tastes. And it's hardly universal. As with other non-gender specific names (Lee/Leigh), spellings are scarcely 100% masculine OR feminine. Rock musician Robyn Hitchcock is male--and Jaye Davidson is, well, androgynous at least. Robin is in any event a diminutive, so while it could be interpreted as a nickname for Robert, it could just as well be for Roberta.

原The name Robin comes from the name Robert. In the US more girls are named Robin/Robyn than boys, but that wasn't so true in the early 1900s. I'm named for my uncle (I'm female) who died in WW2 so I'm honored to have his name (without the "y").

原I am a female with the name Robin. My parents chose it because it was the only name they could agree on. Boy or girl I would have been Robin. A Lot of people think the spelling with the 'y' is more suitable for females. I honestly don't think it matters. And I do like it and the fact that not everyone has it.

原I prefer it as a guys name because girls I think should spell it with a y and they can't steal Robin Hood's name!

原I don't know why you would name a girl Robin. It sounds so masculine to me. I always think of Robin Hood. I think it's a lovely name for a boy and for a girl it's kind of trashy. Just my opinion.

原To the Anonymous above who mentioned the name Robert: it does not many "ye of little fame". It's my dad's name and it means "shining fame".

原I have always loved my name, Robin. I do not find a lot of women in my age group nor my ethic background with this name. I have read that it is from the French, Robert, and it means "Ye of little fame" and its modern translation is "almost famous" and that is me alright. I have a mug with a pair of really red lips and the name Robin and the words "almost famous" painted on it that I found in a mall one time years ago.
