I think it’s a really cute nickname for Roberta, especially if the bearer is a bit tomboyish.

A girl should never be named Bobbie. Too MASCULINE!

I like Bobbie as a nickname on a girl only.

Sounds really cute with Lynn or Jean at the end.

I wouldn't want to have this name. It sounds masculine and people have a habit of misspelling it as Boobie.

The main character of Sondheim's musical "Company" is named Bobbie (originally a man with the spelling as "Bobby").

Often gets lumped in with my name, Robbie. Lots of people call me Bobbie as a joke. It's really not a bad name.

Great as a nickname.

LOVE LOVE LOVE. I really like this spelling for a girl! It’s so cute and retro. I would love to have a name like this!

I love the name Bobbie as a nickname for Roberta. It seems so bouncy and sparky and fun and bright (and somehow implies red hair, or maybe that's just my personal associations). A girl called Bobbie could use this name, or if she really didn't like it or was super girly or something she could use Roberta. There are also other nicknames such as Bertha, Bertie, Bert, Robbie, Robert... but Bobbie is DEFINITELY my favourite (with Bert as runner-up). :)
