in reply to
a message by Billina
I appreciate it as a dusty antique. I agree that “BUR-tha” is a bit unpleasant, but I love how the name looks, and I’m fond of the
German
pronunciation. I also love the French
Berthe
.

I knew a
Roberta
whose nn was
Bert
. I could have thought of other, better options, but I'd have stayed with
Roberta
actually.

My great-grandmother was
Alberta
called "
Bert
". I've always had a fondness for it, but I admit it isn't what one might call pretty.

Aw,
Bert
could definitely work on the right woman. I admit I have a huge soft spot for masculine nicknames on women (e.g.
Bill
,
Tom
,
Eddy
).
