I think it's Rob-Bertha in English, but I'm not sure in Portuguese.

In Portuguese, TH = T. If this is a Brazilian thing, it’s something that uneducated(usually) people invent to embellish the spelling. USA’s equivalent would be Jaxxon or Maddisyn.

Well in that case...I don’t like it. It gives me a weird feeling in my tongue. Roberta is more simple and interesting. It’s like somebody with a horrible lisp butchering a word. Maybe even a Kindergartener who doesn’t know for sure how to pronounce their t’s yet.
