Odd how Robin is a man's name

then you spell it Robyn and it becomes a girl's name. One of the few names left which works for both genders, I feel sorry for male Lindsays, Hilarys and Staceys etc.

- that's my name!
  
  i've never met another robyn (female). but i've worked in two different places with a robin (male).
  
  i think robin for a man is way more common than robyn for a girl. can't write an email to a company without them responding to MR. robyn [surname]. really annoying.
