    Thanks...

    It is indeed also from English... where Robin is a girl's name.

    I totally get the reactions here. When I see a boy named Robin, I have more or less the same feeling. In my head, it really feels more like a girl's name. In Dutch, it's just different. I've got quite a few in my class: in Belgium, Robin is quite popular, and here they're all boys.

    I think Floor is really much prettier.
    Good luck with your choice
    Greetings, Donna

    Hi, I personally think Floor is more beautiful.

    I’d also go with Floor.. I don’t think Robin is really a beautiful name, not even for a boy.. I find it a bit cheesy, to be honest.. but it’s ultimately your choice .. good luck!

    I don't really like either of them. I think Robin is too boyish and Floor is too common (it comes up so often). What I do like is Floortje—it doesn't come up super often and it's superior!!

    Absolutely Robin!
    Floor is indeed quite common. Robin is tough but smooth. I actually find it really nice for a girl.

    Robin is really a boy's name (think of Robin Bood). The female version is Robine.

    The only reason Robin is now given to girls is because it has been adopted from America.

    In England, Robin is indeed a boy's name, but in America, not always.

    Floor, of course

  11. Emme Guest #31

    I also think Robin is a nice name for girls. Tough and feminine at the same time. I know a few teenagers with that name, so I'm used to it.
    Floor is also really nice, but I think the English meaning is a pity.

    Robin is a boy's name, even in English. Only those crazy Americans...

  13. Anonymous Guest #33

    I think Robin is super beautiful, cheerful, and tough for a girl, and definitely not ordinary!
    I think it sounds much more beautiful than Floor!

  14. Hummel Guest #34

    But it remains a boy's name...

  15. Anonymous Guest #35

    Robin!!! Really beautiful and strong. If my nephew wasn't already named Robin, I would have named my daughter that!

  16. Lotte Guest #36

    Robin can be for a girl and for a boy!! Case closed
    .
    I personally think Robin is cooler for a girl than Floor. I find Floor a bit cheesy.

  17. Monkey #37

    Floor, my oldest brother is named Robin

  18. Linda #38

    I think Robin is really cool! Nice name, definitely for a girl too. Tough!
    I find Floor a bit boring...

  19. Jolanda Guest #39

    I'm also really torn about the name Robin for a girl... (5 months pregnant)
    I think it's beautiful and cool, and you don't hear it too much, it's totally fine for a girl!
    But on the other hand, I'm afraid that everyone will assume it's a boy...and that she might get teased because of it...although that could happen with other names too...
    Robin is gender-neutral, like so many names like "Renee, Puck, Marley...
    Still, you often have a more specific girl/boy image in mind for them
    Yeah...I'm also experiencing serious name stress...

    I know a boy named Flor, pronounced just like Floor, so nowadays it doesn't matter anymore if it's a boy's or girl's name haha. I've had two Robins in my class, and they were both girls. One was a sweet, cute girl, and the other was like a real country girl haha. So it really doesn't matter what you choose, and with all the unique names these days, no one will even bat an eye if a girl or boy is named Floor or Robin.
