Help[Opinions] Re: Bird
in reply to a message by LillieMae87
I think it's too synthetic - if you clip the Ro off Roberta, it sounds like bird-a, but if you clip the Ro off Robert there's no "bird" there. It's Bert.
And also it's kinda unappealing. Birds have many negative connotations, also "bird" has been used as (slightly denigrating I believe) slang for woman.
Robin's not an option?
I think Bear from Roberto would be better than Bird from Robert.

not just for women ...
It's also a semi-insulting, or at least dismissive, nn for any random person. "He's a strange bird" or "what a weird bird he is." Also, things like jailbird and yardbird.

I think there's guys who could pull it off. A certain aesthetic. But I don't imagine it applicable to just any random Robert and sounding chipper and cool the way "Birdy" might for a Roberta
