My name is Robin. I'm from Switzerland and growing up in Switzerland, Robin was not a common name for girls.

And as a kid, that was really hard because Robin was strictly seen as a boy's name and kids can be brutal, as we all know.

So I was teased a lot in school. And it really got to the point where I genuinely started to hate my own

name and I was so determined to change it once I turned 18 and I was also angry at my parents

for giving me a boy's name in the first place so yeah it was quite a lot but then something

unexpected happened around 2010 how met your Mother really blew up in Switzerland,

or at least at my school, and everyone was watching it. Like the cool kids were watching it,

the people who wanted to be cool, and everyone knew the jokes and the references and everything.

And yeah, suddenly my name wasn't something people left at anymore. It became cool. It

became really cool. And for the first time in my life, I almost felt like people were jealous,

that I had this cool international name that was the same name as one of the characters on the show.

And yeah, when I then started watching the show myself, it was such a healing experience for me because not only did I see my name represented on screen. It was the name of the woman I personally thought was like the coolest character on the show. And so, yeah, I will always be grateful to how met your mother and especially Robin Shabatsky for helping me turn something

I once hated something I know I'm truly proud of so thank you.

I'm alone would a pity I won't be soon in New York City when see you, please permit me to tell you everything in New York City.

Well, Craig, what a great letter to start with.

Are you, like, weirdly moved by that one?

I find that so moving for some ways.

Yeah.

Out of all the things you think you're doing when you're making a TV show, and we thought

we were doing some things.

Right.

We were not thinking that we were helping a teenage girl in Switzerland adjust to and love her name.
