Would you automatically shorted the name Robin (for a boy) to Rob or Robbie?

Question

Loving the name Robin but I’m not a fan of Rob or Robbie. Wondering if people would quickly use a nickname with this name ?

Answer

You can correct people while he's young, but as a Caitlin who's mother absolutely did not want me called Katie, people are going to call them what they want 🤷‍♀️ I can choose not to respond but a lot of people call me Cait and at work they call me Cece. I don't like or feel like a Katie because it feels much too young for me now. As your child ages, Rob may be what some people call him. I personally don't like Robbie. At the same time, I have a grandmother and a great aunt both named Robin/Robyn respectively. My grandmother goes by Robin and my great aunt is Aunt Robbie.

Answer
