A misspelling magnet

Our generated misspelling index lists 7 likely wrong-spelling variants for Robin, with forms such as "orbin", "rboin", and "robbin".

It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "ron", "roi", "Ruin", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
