I think it’s more of a girl's name in my opinion.

One of those names that is more unisex than most. I still lean toward it being best on boys, however I think it’s better to name your girl Robin than Robert. Would make a good name for a redhead.

Reminds me of Robin Skinner the British singer-songwriter, but mostly of the bird. I love this name for a boy specifically! But i also love it for a girl's name or even a middle name. Birds are cute :) unfortunately the nicknames for "Robin" aren't as cute as the actual name. Robi or Robbee is still pretty cute! But I think I'd stick with the full name.

Only for boys. Robin's only for the boys. That's it. Stop using it for girls. Robin Hood was a guy right?

Robin Hugh Gibb, Bee Gees singer. I have always liked this name and I had a good friend called Robyn (female) when I was young. The Robin is also my favorite wild bird.

My middle name, glad it's not my first. It's too strong of a name for a girl I think. It's hard not to think of a bird every single time I hear it or say it.
Could be a strong sounding men's name. Don't like the idea of it being shortened to boring old "Rob".

I think Robin is probably one of the most unisex names out there. I like it better for a girl, but that's just me. In short, I think it's perfect for both baby boys and baby girls. It's not as common and less trendy-sounding as other gender neutral names. I like it.

My name is Robin! These comments about it only being a boy's name are hysterical. I have never once met a man named Robin. The only man I can reference with my name is Robin Williams (RIP ❤️) and of course, Batman’s sidekick. When I was young (I’m 44 now) I disliked my name. It was not popular like other 80’s kids like Jennifer, Melissa, Alison, etc etc BUT now as I look back I am grateful that my parents went for something different and unique and uncommon. When the teacher said Robin only one girl looked up. When someone referred to me everyone knew who they were referring to - there was never a “Robin who?!” The name means Bright Fame - what more could I want?! I love my name. As a free spirit in every way I can’t imagine any other name. It’s unique and different- like me ❤️ Thanks Mom and Dad. There are too many Jennifer’s out there anyway lol.

Name for both genders, but it feels more masculine. Similar, there is male Robert and female Roberta, so why there is not something like Robina for female? So, Robin feels like a nice name for a male.

I'm a genderfluid person and I'm looking for a new name for myself because my birth name is way too feminine for my tastes and I want to have a gender neutral name. Even though it's usually a male name if we pronounce it a certain way and a female name if pronounced another way where I live, it's still a name I'd like to use and my best friend supports me in this.

Hi my name is actually Robin and I am 11 yrs old and I’m a girl, so forget you other people who say that it is 100% a boy name. Sorry to burst your bubble but it’s kinda like...a...girl name. I’m the most popular girl at my school because people think my name is beautiful and very feminine.

Some people are all for the philosophy that gender in names should be abolished. However, I cannot simply erase years that shaped my perceptions of names: there are names that I perceive as feminine or masculine, rarely with overlap. Yet Robin is that rare name that I genuinely like, and would use, on either a girl or a boy. For girls there's the association with the bird, and for boys there's the Robin Hood legacy, as well as the late great Robin Williams. (I also vastly prefer Robin to Robert, of which Robin used to be a diminutive.)
But since it's an English word, please, please leave it *Robin* for a girl or boy. None of this Robyn / Robynne / Robinne nonsense.

I've known quite a few women named Robin or Robyn but no males aside from Batman's sidekick or Robin Hood. When I first saw Robin Williams on TV I was surprised that a male could actually have that name. Then I heard it was quite popular as a masculine name, although more in Europe than U.S. Live and learn.

Robin is 100% feminine to me. I know, Batman and Robin, Robin Hood, etc., which makes me feel like in the realms of fiction it's masculine, but my first thought is Robin Scherbatsky from How I Met Your Mother, and I can't imagine a boy being named Robin. Robyn and Robynne are just plain bad. Robin is a great feminine form of Robert, so Roberta can be avoided.

Even though I have a female cousin with this name, I honestly like it a lot better for guys instead of girls. Here’s why: 1. Robin Williams. I really liked his movies, and I cried when he died, so it would be good to use this name for a boy as a tribute to him. 2. In MOST countries (besides the US and maybe Canada), Robin IS a boy’s name.

I don't understand why people even started using this name on girls in the first place. This has always been a male name. And, even though the name was given to a bird, it originally had nothing to do with birds. It's a diminutive of Robert, only a medieval one. Like now, we would use Robby as a diminutive of Robert, but back then they would use Robin. Also, this name has feminine versions like Robyn, Robina and Robena. If this was a girl's name, there wouldn't be other feminine versions. It's a male name.

I used to have a friend named this. She was a female. Although we are not friends anymore, I do like her name. It’s very outdoorsy. She used to make us say bluebird instead of Robin when singing that Jingle Bells song because she didn’t like hearing her name in the song! Haha.

I believe this name works well on boys and girls alike of all ages, though I'd rather use it on a girl in my opinion. If you want to name your child after Robin Hood or are looking for an alternative to Robert, use it on a boy. If you want to name your child after the bird, use it on a girl. I detest the spelling "Robyn" though.

Robin is definitely a male name. Not only because it comes from Robert, the most masculine name you can possibly imagine, but also because it was originally a male name, a nickname for Robert, an ancient Germanic name meaning "fame bright". Also, the feminine forms Robyn (spelled with y instead of i) and Robina (with a letter a at the end) exist for a reason. A great and strong masculine name!

I think this is one of the very few unisex names that actually works great on both males and females!
As a teenager I have met one girl named Robin, and she was so sweet and caring. She alone made me have a great impression of this name.
I do however have to say though, I do think this name leans more towards males when it comes to which gender suits the name best, but honestly it is great for either a boy or girl.
It also ages well.

I believe Robin is suitable for boys or girls. For a boy, it’s strong and handsome, and for a girl, it’s delicate and ladylike enough. Though there is also the spelling Robyn, I prefer it for a girl only. Teen Titans Go makes me love it for a boy and the nature for a girl. Though it’s slightly more feminine in my opinion, but Robyn is feminine completely!

My name is Robin... well its Robinlyn, one word. I literally have to say that everytime I meet someone new so that they understand that Lyn is not my middle name. I have researched the names thoroughly individually. Robin means bright fame, and lyn means beautiful, and cascading water. I happen to think it suits me perfectly especially since my passion and gift in this world is to sing like a bird, nothing makes me happier. Also, I am the epitome through and through of a Cancer, a water sign. I love my name and have never met another Robinlyn in person in my life so far. I get variations of nicknames... Bird, Birdie, Robin, Robbie, Rob, Bobby... no one has ever called me my first name for long after meeting me despite their promises to do so. It gets shortened everytime... but I wish upon a star... maybe one day someone will be up to the challenge lol.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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").

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.

I am also a female Robin. My mother got the name from a soap opera in 1968 called "The Doctors" so I am named after Dr. Robin. She loved the name, but I recently found out Dr. Robin was Male. I am very proud of my name.

I love this name. It's so sweet! I originally liked it for a girl but I would name my son Robin too. There is something very lighthearted and natural about the name. Makes my heart smile. =)

My name is Robin, and I wasn't named after Robin-Hood or the robin bird. My mom actually named me after a character named Robin Scorpio on the soap opera General Hospital.

In Sweden it USED to be for boys ONLY (it got trendy when tennis player Björn Borg named his son Robin) but then along came pop singer Robin and single handedly made it ok for girls. She changed her name to Robyn after a while, because it was more female and grown up.

Robin isn't just a character in Teen Titans; in Teen Titans he's a retooled, kiddy version of Robin from Batman. Robin's real name was Richard Grayson and he and his parents were in the circus as acrobats before his parents died and he was taken in by Batman. Robin is Batman's sidekick.

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.

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".
