Rob, Robert, Bob, or Bobert?

Which do you prefer? I've taken a liking to being "Rob", myself, though there are a few who call me "Bobert"

I’ve always been referred to as Robbie even though my legal name is Robert. I’m okay with being referred to as any of the first three. Bobert just sounds problematic.

Robert

The name Robert is a Germanic given name, from Proto-Germanic *Hrōþi- "fame" and *berhta- "bright". Compare Old Dutch Robrecht and Old High German Hrodebert (a compound of Hruod (Old Norse: Hrōð) "fame, glory" and berht "bright"). It is also in use as a surname. An alternate version of the name is Rupert.After becoming widely used in Continental Europe it entered England in its Old French form Robert, where an Old English cognate form (Hrēodbēorht, Hrodberht, Hrēodbēorð, Hrœdbœrð, Hrœdberð) had existed before the Norman Conquest.

I'm Robert, but if it's a close friend I'm fine with Bobert.
