Exception to Y Trend?

Robyn. Do you think this is an exception to the Y trend going on? I actually seem to prefer Robyn to Robin..

Your thoughts?

WashingtonQueen

No. Spell it Robin.

You're putting a y where there should be an I. Not an exception, but I do like it and also went to school with a Robyn.

She will correct people on spelling all the time.

Not an exception because she will have to tell people "It's Robin with a Y" when they ask her name.

That being said, I knew a Robyn growing up and I think it's not that big of a deal.

On some names, I hate the Y because it seems forced, however I have seen Robin spelled with a Y, so it doesn't seem like something you just thought up on your own in an attempt to make your baby so special and original.

I'm going to go against the grain here and say Robyn is traditionally the girl variant and Robin is for a boy, like Christopher Robin, at least in England. I dated a British guy in college and his sis was Robyn, and I spelled her name wrong at first becau

 I've never met a female Robin (that I know of) only Robyns.  It doesn't seem like a trend to me.  I thought it was the feminine spelling of the name.

i hate the random ys, but i think robyn is a exception.

Why would this one name be an exception? ETA: I did not know about the British spelling thing. I feel like a hypocrite since I like the name Emmalyn. Some people thing that that is a Y trend, but I don't think so....:P

Nope, Robyn is not an exception.

It's actually one of my most disliked names, so I don't like Y or I in there.  But Robin.

I know a Robyn in her 40s, so I don't think it's that weird.  The name is NMS either way but it's not an instance where I feel strongly about the y.

No. Spell it Robin.

This!

No. I don't think it's an exception to the trend. I prefer Robin.

My aunt born in 1952 is a Robyn. My grandparents are anything but "add a y" people. 

Check BTN - this spelling was in the Top 500 for fifty years straight. It's #43 right now in Ireland and #83 in Scotland. BTN defines it as "feminine varian
