I re-read The Railway Children by E. Nesbit and now I am beginning to like the name Roberta (nickname Bobbie). It isn't the kind of name I usually go for so I sort of feel bad for liking it. Also I dislike the name Robert.

WDYTO Roberta (and Bobbie)? Any combo ideas?

Thank you.

While I like Robert, I totally dislike Roberta. It's such a non-feminime name. I also dislike Bobbie.

I often like obviously feminized names, particularly the ones that are a bit awkward and/or still feel pretty butt-kicking. But for some reason I've never been able to get behind Roberta. I think it's because I haven't had any sort of image epiphany or likeable associations. It's just so blaringly "Robert" to me. Perhaps someday I'll be able to warm up to it like I have Alberta, recently. I do know, at least, that I really dislike Bobbie.
