You can steal my name if you like-I don't like it for me.

It won't make sense though. You'll have to stay as Hitchcock.

I meant you can have the name Robyn if you like!

Oh, well that's a kind offer an' all. But too many people say I'm girly already, I think that would be a step too far.

Haha that's odd to me because everyone says I have a boy's name!

Oh dear, visiting cat invasion.

Really? There are boys called Robyn?

Well, Robin. Same when you say it out loud. And in America they apparently use both for both genders. I think people just think of Robin Hood when they say it. My Spanish course teacher, as I've said before I think, read the register and was looking for a boy to answer and was confused when I did.

Silly Americans....

Honestly naming a boy Robin after Batman? That's just odd.

I was named after a girl who used to represent Pears soap. :$

There's a of Pears Soap advert in my sister's room - maybe it's the girl you're named after?

I have never seen her! I was going to be an Emma, but it's my middle name now.

I was going to be called Angus or Quentin. Thank God that my Dad changed my Mum's mind.

I love the name Quentin!

Eep! My dad was going to be Clive or Trevor until his sister stepped in.

Billy Elliot?

Heard that before. There was some shitty Little Britain sketch which used it and people quoted it endlessly.
