Only messing tom it's all good. I came to accept years ago that my name is rubbish. I had an opportunity to change it a while back but I kept the first name.
Old post...I know but try living with the name Robin. "Most" of the time here, in the States, it's a woman's name but, lucky me, I was born in England and my parents decided to bestow this decidedly androgynous name upon me. It could have been worse...I understand that Robin Hood Osborn was also in consideration. Thankfully, I have been able to go by Rob most of my life and when people decide they want to use my full "given" name they often mistakenly say Robert instead of Robin. One bonus is all of this is that if I receive mail addressed to Ms. Robin Osborn I know that the originator of the mail has no idea who I am and it immediately goes in the trash.
