In sound, style, and overall appeal, the American feminine name Bobbie-Jean is a resounding hit. It joins together Bobbie and Jean, two titles that take inspiration from monikers like Robert, Barbara, and John. Also spelled Bobbi, Bobbie is a gender-neutral diminutive of Robert, sharing its Germanic translation of "bright fame." If you're looking to honor an important Robert, Bobby, or Bobbi in your life, choosing Bobbie-Jean could be very fitting. "My dad's name is Robert, so we decided that our girl's name would be Bobbi," shares KKleese, a The Bump community member and a fan of Bobbie's closest variant!


The Greek moniker Barbara can also be shortened to Bobbie, lending it its definition of "foreign." Jean comes from the Hebrew John, translating to "Yahweh is gracious." With three well-known names carried within it, Bobbie-Jean is unique yet familiar all at once.
