Personal experiences with the name Roberta

I have a friend named Bobbie (short for Roberta) and she thinks that it's a bit too posh for her, but I've always liked it.

I know a Roberta. I don't know whether her parents wanted boys or what, but her sister is called Frederica!

I knew a Roberta who was called Bert. Bert is too masculine, I prefer Bobbie.
