Help[Opinions] Re: Robin
in reply to a message by Lily
I have a 28-yr old dd named Robin Kate; she's always loved her name. Never a problem in the US, but now a little awkward in Switzerland, where she's lived for a decade: There it's usually a male name, usually a Brit. But people adjust quite readily once they get to know her. For some reason, she's a bit like a robin--confident and burbly. I don't know if I would choose the name again, had I the chance to name another daughter. My tastes have changed, but I still appreciate unisex names and nature names, so who knows?
When she was young, there was another girl in her elementary school named Robin Gale--also quite unisex. And when she was briefly in college in the US, there were 3 other girls with this name in her freshman class of @500.

Oh I love both Robin and Kate! I also like Gale, on a guy :P Kind of funny that she encountered so many, she must have been born in the 80s and according to statistics it wasn't in the top 100 anymore at the time. Most of the Robins I know are younger, though, which is weird because it was common in the 60s, according to this site.
I know a male Robin who is in his late 20s, a male Robin in his early 20s and a female Robyn who was also born in the 80s. I only know two who were born earlier - a female Robin who was born in the 50s and a female Robin who was born in the 70s. The latter changed her name to Robyn to make it more feminine. I've met several others but these are the ones I can think of right now.
