Roberta?

[xXjunebugXx]

What do you ladies think of Roberta? Bobbie for short maybe?

I keep coming back to this name for some reason, I am really drawn to it.

Thank you x

I absolutely love it, think it's a really strong, classy name.

I had a boss called Roberta, she was an evil, big haired despot so it's a 'no' from me.

I'm not really a fan of men's names with an 'a' tacked on the end anyway. Not that Roberta is as bad as Nigella or Thomasina.

I really like it and would love to see it used.

Awful and harsh, sorry. Nothing cute or little girly about it. Although Bobbi which is lovely

Love it, makes me think of The Railway Children.

I like it

I think it's good that there's nothing cute or little girly about it. A person is a little girl for a tiny amount of their lives you should be naming the woman not the baby. Giving girls baby, cutesy names does them a disservice.

I love it :) And Bobby is such a cute nn :)

I asked about Roberta a while ago and most people said it sounded like I wanted a boy... but I honestly prefer some of these names to their more common male counterparts :P

I know a Roberta who's nn is Bobsy.

Personally I prefer Robyn to Roberta.

I don't like it. I wouldn't want anything cute and girlie either, but there are plenty of strong female names. With a name like Roberta, I'm afraid I would assume that you had really wanted a boy.

I knew sisters growing up called Paula and Roberta. I always pitied them as I assumed that their parents hadn't wanted girls!

Do it! I love it but my oh was having none of it

I know a Roberta. Her nickname is Robbie which is lovely but I always think of how ugly her full name is. I just hear Bert.

Awful sorry. Very ugly name.

Yes, like it very much. Bobbie.

I love it. Wish my dh felt the same!

I know a lovely teenager called Roberta, she doesn't shorten it .

I like it too

We don't know what we are having but have 3-4 boys names that we love so it is a case of seeing what baby looks like. I am finding girls names really hard tbh, not because I want a boy but because I don't really like super cutsie girlie names. I guess I like more uncommon names, not out there names but just a little different.

Super cute but also strong :)
