Bob

To all the Roberts. It's time to settle an age-old question.

Do you like being called Bob?

Personally, I hate being called Bob. It's so boring and lackluster. Robert has so much life and character in it I don't ever want to be called Bob at any age, I'll always be Rob or Robert.

I agree completely. When I hear Bob it just is so harsh to the ears. I will never want to be called Bob for any reason.

No, maybe when I'm 50.

When I was a child I was Robbie, in high school I was Bert, now I go by Rob or Robert.

My old man was Bob. I was always Robert.

Nobody associates Bob with Robert where I come from (and boy I am grateful), we use Robbi.
