The form surfaces sporadically in French and English records as a pet-name or feminine elaboration alongside Robine and Robinette, but it has never been common. In contemporary use, it reads as a vintage-tinged, francophone twist on the classic Robert/Roberta family.

International cousins such as Robyn, Robyne, and Robertina share the same roots. Possible nicknames range from Ro, Robi/Robbie, and Bobbie to Bette, Etta, and Ettie.
