I don't know how I feel about this. It sounds a little harsh and I'm not big on the 'bert' part, but at the same time I like how the sound fits together. It makes me think a bit of Robins too.

I’ve always liked the name Roberta because of how many good diminutives it can be shortened to. Names like Bobbie, Robin, Bertie, and even Robbie are pleasantly heartwarming nicknames for a girl.
I feel this name is feminine and all that stuff I just hate how most names that are intended for females *not saying they can’t be used for boys* are based off of boy names. There isn’t a male name based off a female name! A lot of Robertas are getting hate. I mean everyone’s allowed their opinion but don’t just be rude! I personally don’t like names with Bert or Bertie in them, but Roberta isn’t tooooo horrible, after all a name doesn’t determine a personality.
Someone complained about the lack of masculine names based on feminine ones. How about: Anito, Anno, Barbaro, Bertho, Deboro, Glorio, Isabello, Jessico, Loretto, Lindo, Madonno, Martho, Melisso, Pamelo, Priscillo, Rebecco, Rito, Rutho, Saro, Thereso, Ursulo, Vanesso, Veronico, Wilmo or Yolando?(I am amazed to learn that some of these have actually been used, though not all are versions of the female names they resemble.)Just added a few.
There is tho, Laura came before Lauro, there are probably others and btw there are plenty of feminine names that aren't feminized masculine ones, both of my names Chiara and Margherita are examples.
My name is Roberta. I really think it is very cute and ages well.
You know what I've noticed a lot recently? I've noticed that a lot of commenters on this site are unhealthily obsessed with femininity and masculinity, as though names actually have genders. I mean, the comment sections regarding a lot of beautiful names on this site are rather sad because the beauty of the name is being overshadowed by people bickering about how either “sissy” or “unfeminine” it sounds. It's quite depressing, actually. A good name is a good name regardless of its “femininity” or “masculinity”.
Besides, Roberta is a traditionally-feminine name. Just because it's derived from a traditionally-masculine name doesn't make it masculine. A good example is the timelessly classic name, Charlotte, which also has masculine roots, as it's derived from the name Charles, yet almost no one considers Charlotte a “masculine” name, even though it's considered a feminine version of a masculine name.
I think Roberta is a beautiful name, along with its lovely nickname potentials, such as Birdie, Berta, Bobbie, Robbie, etc. The name ages beautifully, as well, in my opinion. I can also easily see it “suiting” a tomboy or girly-girl, which is sometimes hard to find in a name.
Overall, I think Roberta is a very nice name.

I was named after my grandfather, Robert. I've been called Bert, Berta and (by my niece) Bert-Bert. Sometimes it sounds masculine and awkward, but growing up I never had to worry about being mistaken for anyone else. Now as an adult I live in a completely different part of the country and for the first time met three other Robertas. Sometimes I get asked if I have Latin ancestry with the name being so close to Roberto.
"Sexy" is the first word that pops into my mind when I hear this name. A really hot one. Never got that "too masculine for a girl" BS.

I for one LOVE the name, mainly because it is my name. My name is Roberta Alexander. I was named after my dad whose name is Robert, although my aunt says she named me after Roberta Flack the singer. Either way I have always liked it. It is kind of difficult for some people to pronounce so sometimes I get a lot of nicknames, lol.
I find that the shift in accent (in English, at least) obscures the connection with Robert and makes the name seem independent, which I think is a good thing. The same goes for "Alberta."

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.
