What is Robin Scherbatsky's full listed name?

The story behind the answer

Robin Scherbatsky’s full listed name is Robin Charles Scherbatsky Jr. The character is portrayed by Cobie Smulders and is one of the five central friends around whom How I Met Your Mother is built.

Robin’s middle name and suffix connect her directly to her father, Robin Charles Scherbatsky Sr. Her father wanted a son and raised Robin in a traditionally masculine way, which becomes an important part of their strained relationship and explains why the family naming detail matters.

Viewers often confuse Robin’s legal name with her stage identities. As a teenager, she performed as the Canadian pop singer Robin Sparkles, and later adopted Robin Daggers for a darker musical persona. Those are aliases, not replacements for her listed name. Robin is also frequently called “Aunt Robin” by Ted’s children, but that is a relationship-based nickname rather than her formal name.
