Robbie.

Robby is nobby.

Porcupinetree · 25/07/2016 09:12

Bert?

MiddleClassProblem · 24/07/2016 20:38

How did you know his name? Didn't they just make funny noises and nonsense language?

DramaAlpaca · 24/07/2016 00:40

Robbie, definitely.

PotatoBread · 24/07/2016 00:39

Definitely not Robby.

I find the name Robbie a bit 90s tbh. Prefer Bobby as a nn though prefer the full version - Robert - the best.

Barry is never cool!

DeathpunchDoris · 23/07/2016 23:58

Why shorten it at all? Robert is lovely. In the same way, I work with a Christine ( not Chris), Barry ( not Bazza) and a Megan ( not Meg). The full version of a name is cool .

Robbie. Robby sounds like how you would describe someone light fingered "he's a bit robby"Grin
