Help[Opinions] Thanks everyone.
in reply to a message by Serafina Starstrider
It was nice to hear your opinions.
As at least one of you mentioned sometimes hearing robbing when you hear Robin, I sometimes hear that as well but I've gotten over it. Someone mentioned Morgan and Organ similarity and I sometimes hear that as well. I used to not like Rowan as much because it sounded too much like rowing but I'm over that. Iris still sometimes bothers me because of eye irises. Violet and violent. Celeste and moleste. Those last two are a little bit harder to ignore the association for me but I've been falling more in love with Violet lately.
I mostly associate Robin with Robin Williams, Christopher Robin, Robin Hood, and the superhero Robin, when it comes to Robin as a boys name. For Robin as a girl's name I think of actress Robin Wright, the character Robin from How I Met Your Mother, and a therapist my sister used to have who was a bit batty. For both genders I think of the default name for Fire Emblem Awakening's main character, the color Robin's egg blue, Red Robin's restaurant, and the bird although iconic red-breasted robin's are all male.
I see the name as being equally unisex but I'd only ever use it for a son and only if my younger sister-in-law didn't want to use it.
A lot of you mentioned Morgan and I feel like Morgan does work well as a sibling for Robin but I'm not fond enough of Morgan to ever use it for either gender. Maybe my sister-in-law will use it someday.
I associate Morgan with Morgan le Fay and some female friend's I have with the name for women and with Morgan Freeman, Captain Morgan the pirate, and with the character Morgan from Dresden Files for men. Also the child character Morgan from Fire Emblem whose sex is decided based on your character's sex - it's always the opposite of yours so mine has always been male.
Just like with Robin I know more real life woman named Morgan than men but I associate more male characters with each name. As a boys name Morgan reminds me of Duncan. They have a very similar feel to them. Morgan as a girl's name reminds me of Regan, Teagan, and Paige. Morgan especially reminds me of Regan because of their shared classical literary history. Though I like Morgan and Paige togther as a sister sibset.
