Bert apparently is a diminutive of names such as Albert, Robert, Berthold, Umberto, Gombert. Bert means bright. And Bertie is just double diminutive.

What fucked up Bert name do you think Bertie is short for? Personally, I’m going with “Cookedbert” which is listed on the wikipedia page for the name, but I highly doubt is a real name. Although “Rawbert” is also listed there so maybe his name wasn’t Cooked until after he died.

#the mechanisms #rawbert is a funny play on robert and cookedbert is opposite to that #but the wiki page also lists ‘whitebert.’ ‘blackbert.’ and ‘orangebert.’#as well as ‘nigerbert’ which im hoping is just a bert from niger #orangebert had no search results fyi. i mean it had results but not for ‘orangebert’ other than the Bert wiki #nigerbert had slightly better results but not by much #i didnt look up the others #also yes this post does play off of bertie dying by microwave #bertie #i have no clue what is going on on the bert wiki page though #someone should probably figure that out
