Roberta hands down!!! Don't like Robin or Robyn for a girl (not wild about Robin on a boy either but I'd much rather see it called out to a little boy than a girl!)I like Roberta, always had a soft spot for it even when I took it off my long list (it had been on there for ages and gone stagnant). I imagine shortening it to "Bo" or "Bobby".I think other feminisations work well for sisters, e.g. Ramona (my favourite pic), Wilhelmina, Caroline, Alexandria, Georgina.

Robin is entirely male to me, and I'd use it rather than Robert.I don't think I'd use Roberta at all. I've known two Roberta people: one known as Robbie and the other as Bert. One of them had a sister named Josephine and nicknamed Jodie.

I prefer Robin, it's sweet and sounds more modern.
Roberta is an alright name but it's older sounding to my ears. I've known three women named Roberta, two of them were called Roberta and one went by Bobbi.

I like/love most feminine forms of male names, but Roberta is an exception, as there's nothing attractive about it for me. I have tried to like it, but just can't.I prefer Robin over Roberta.

Don't see any appeal to Roberta. I really don't like Robert and Roberta is is worst. Not a real fan of Robin, only because I know one and she's not my favorite person to say the least. Still Robin is better than Roberta

Verity
Augustine
Rosemary
Winifred
Patrick
Basil
Oliver
Alasdair
Isaac AmadoOr maybe something else with a fiery meaning like Kenina or Serafino!I like Roberta ok (more than I like Robert); it strikes me as spherical and red.
ETA: I only like Robin for boys; it seems more dated for a girl. So, I prefer Roberta. I like Ro as a NN for it.

Hi !!Roberta is rated 5/10 imo.
It is boring, plain, colourless.Siblings could be Gabriella, Alberto, Simona, Monica.. all names with a similar vibe.
