Roberta Pardo Rey/Reverte Rey is the character played by Dulce Maria in the Mexican telenovela "Rebelde".

My parents considered it for me, but then dropped it because my father's name is Roberto and it would have been awkward. I'm very glad they did - I don't like how it sounds. Weirdly enough, the same does not apply to the masculine form.

Roberta´s pet forms are Robin, Berta, Bertine, Bobby.

I don't know why, but this name sounds scarily masculine to me.

Roberta is the main character in the children's novel 'The Railway Children,' though she abbreviates it to Bobby. I like this name because it is unusual, both tomboyish and feminine, and as I love the book and film it has good associations for me.

I actually quite like this name. The nicknames Bobby or Robbie are cool for a pinch. And yes, the full name is harsh, but I really like the name for the nicknames.

Another nickname could be "Birdie."

My friend's name is Roberta, but we all call her Bobbie. I think it's very cute!

Vivian Vance's middle name was Roberta.

I love this name! It just rolls off the tongue so well, and it's so pretty! I don't like the masculine 'Robert,' but this is just lovely. It may be a bit old fashioned, but I don't think it's lost it's touch. I'd like to use this name on one of my future daughters (if I have any.) At least as a middle name. ♥.

Roberta was the twin sister to American actor Montgomery Clift.
