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

The name Robin was given to 260 girls born in the US in 2015.

I love how this name is becoming more popular as a feminine name too, it suits as a girl's name.

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.

In France, Robin is pretty much male-only. Every Robin I know is male.

Also used in Sweden. [noted -ed]

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").

This name is only for men. If it was meant to be a lady`s name it would be Robina or Robine.

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.

In Europe, this name is more popular for boys than for girls.
