Talk:Robin (name)

Common or uncommon
just out of curiosity, the disambiguation page for 'Robin' says "Robin may refer to:


 * Robin (name), a common given name."

and the article about Robin (name) says "The name Robin is uncommon (but not unique), being a masculine given name, feminine given name, and a surname. "

so is my first name common or uncommon?


 * I think the first instance is using common in the context of simple, while the second is a synonym for rare - so I don't think the terms are necessarily contradictory. But still, it probably makes sense to align the adjectives.  Hoof Hearted (talk) 19:30, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

Robin Hood
Nitpicking here...but is Robin Hood a 100% fictional character. Legendary is accurate, but that implies there is some truth to the matter.
 * I don't think legendary implies genuine at all; rather it means from a legend, and famous. Hoof Hearted (talk) 19:44, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
