It’s an antique! (m)

I appreciate it as a dusty antique. I agree that “BUR-tha” is a bit unpleasant, but I love how the name looks, and I’m fond of the German pronunciation. I also love the French Berthe.

Berthe actually looks really pretty

I knew a Roberta whose nn was Bert. I could have thought of other, better options, but I'd have stayed with Roberta actually.

My great-grandmother was Alberta called "Bert". I've always had a fondness for it, but I admit it isn't what one might call pretty.

Aw, Bert could definitely work on the right woman. I admit I have a huge soft spot for masculine nicknames on women (e.g. Bill, Tom, Eddy).
