It's funny, I dislike Robert, but adore Roberta. Roberta is so saucy and feisty. I think of it as a "loud broad" kind of name and I love loud broads, I wish I was one. Roberta is glamorous in a bombastic, heavy sort of way, like Barbara, and I enjoy that about it.

As for nicknames, I love all the options for Roberta: Robbie, Bobbie, Bertie, Ruby, and even Bob or Rob. Actually, this name makes me think of my late aunt, who always had the mysterious family nickname of "Kim-Bob". She was a wonderful lady. Yeah, this name is great!

Middle names, hmm... I think Roberta would go with a lot of my favourites, but the result might be VERY musty:

---

Roberta Rosemary
Roberta Muriel
Roberta Eudora
Roberta Daisy? Daisy Roberta is better
Roberta Ruby is pretty cute!
Roberta Cleo, oh, love that
Roberta Minerva

Roberta Cleo is really speaking to me. I'd go with that.

Sorry, I got so distracted that I forget to talk about Alberta. It's fun, but for me it's just the province. I guess it could be a poetic sort of name if someone from Alberta moved away but wanted to remember their home. I like thinking of it that way, actually. Maybe paired with something vintage and wistful.
