Bobby as a girl’s name

[Semma]

What does everyone think of this? I love that it is the more masculine spelling, feels cool and edgy but also cute. But just need some positive reinforcement as most current online threads really slam it as a full name!

No.

Poor kid. Would you want to spend your life explaining that?

I know a 20 something Bobbi, she’s lovely and it really suits her (very cool and edgy but also cute like you said)

No, not as the full actual name. It's ok as a nickname.

Love it as a NN. Maybe short for Roberta?

I know a Bobby, she's in her 50s. She loves being a Bobby and most certainly never had any issues with it growing up.

Only if your surname is Moore or Charlton.

I love it. It reminds me of the railway children too which I love.

I’’m not keen, sorry, it’s definitely a male name to me. It’s not so bad if short for Roberta, but still not a favourite.

No. Imo not cool or edgy, just silly and trying too hard. Sorry!

But that was spelled Bobbie.

No.

I like it but perhaps spelt Bobbie. Similar vibes to Robyn which I also like.

It reminds me of Bobbie Gentry and the Railway Children.

I know two girls called Bobbie, I think it’s cute

I taught a Bobbie many years ago. She suited it

I know a 27 year old with Bobbie as a double barrelled name (think Bobbie-Joe). When I first heard it I thought it sounded overly American and a bit like a Country singer but it has grown on me. I'd definitely go with the "ie" ending.

I think if you go for Robin / yn or Roberta, it’s a very sweet nickname. I’m not keen on it on its own. But love the Railway Children connection and nostalgia!

I like it actually
I like it because I associate it with The Railway Children Bobby. I know that wasn't her real name.
But I guess not everyone will have that association

I think it’s nice and I think the spelling is also OK, given that she’d probably have to spell it anyway. The spelling doesn’t make it any less of a unisex name.

But yes, Bobbie spelling

I don't dislike it but I know a few puppies called Bobby / Bobbi / Bobbie - if I heard you calling your toddler, I'd be looking around for something cute and furry on four legs. Sorry!

If her name was Robyn, her NN could be Bobby, repeating the ‘y’.

I don’t really like nicknames as names. Give her a real name and use Bobby as her nickname

I immediately thought of Bobby Simpson from late 80s and early 90s Home and Away.
