What do we think of Roberta?

[Anonymous]

I love it. Robert is a family name and I think Roberta is a nice feminine form and the nickname Bobbie is adorable. Everyone else in my family hates it (including DH and my uncle Robert) so obviously we’re not going to use it but I’m curious what everyone else thinks?

I don't like it. It sounds like dad is Robert and tried one more time for that son and this was mom's apology to him for failing to birth his heir.

I think of oldies, like Roberta Flack and Bobbie Spencer on General Hospital.

I would think a very masculine girl, possibly with a beard

I'm firmly in the 'if you love it, use it' camp. But I think most folks find this name unappealing.

Sorry, OP. It’s old and fusty and not yet ready for a hipster comeback like Iris, Hazel, Charlotte.

Hide it in the middle?

I don’t like it at all.

Not a fan.

Can't stand it.

Sorry, I can't warm up to this one. But I can see the appeal of a little Bobbie.

I like Rowena better if you’re looking at the first sound.

I like it! It's sweet. I'm also obsessed with the nn Birdie so I'd go with that.

I don't love Roberta (I find it hard to say) but I think Robbie or Robin for a girl is sweet.

I hate it too, it definitely makes me picture a gruff and masculine/overweight woman

I like it! Bobbie for a girl is adorable
