Bobette is a feminine name of French origin, functioning as a diminutive form of Barbara or Roberta. The name combines the nickname "Bob" (from Robert or Barbara) with the French feminine suffix "-ette," creating a playful, endearing quality. Bobette experienced brief popularity in the United States during the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1940s and 1950s, but has since become quite rare.

With its bouncy rhythm and distinct retro feel, Bobette evokes associations with mid-century American culture. While uncommon today, it might appeal to parents seeking a uniquely vintage option with a cheerful, whimsical quality.
