What do you think of the name Robert?

[bunny85]

Just that really

[5hell]

I really like it!
Its way too early for me to be thinking names, but its on my list...not telling dh yet incase he vetos tho

[callamia]

It's a good name. And there's lots you can do with it.

[Girlwithnotattoos]

Love it, my ds's middle name after my grandfather. Think it's got such lovely nn's Rob, Bob, Bobby(my favourite), Robbie. A great name go for it

[StaceyAndTracey]

Lovely ,a classic name

[gointothewoods]

I am not a fan of names that can be shortened/ nicknamed. But if you are ok for them to be called Rob, Bob, Robbie or whatever, Robert is a good, strong name IMO.

[BackforGood]

I love it.
dh vetoed it as he just kept walking around saying "Bob" in a Black Adder type way
Personally though, I like Rob, Robbie, and Bobby, and could cope with Bob although wouldn't have encouraged it.

[SuburbanRhonda]

My DS's name - so obviously I love it

[Madamacadamia]

Love it.

[Quasilulu]

Sorry but it sounds so solid and stodgy to me.

[CakeRattleandRoll]

Love it. Strong name that travels well and suits all ages.

[nooka]

I really like Robert. Nice flexible name (I know Robs, Bobs, Robbies and a Bert too).

[HelpMeInTheBedroom]

I love it

[SuburbanRhonda]

quasi

My 5"10, skinny as a whippet Rob would have to disagree with you about that

[Finola1step]

I love it. My dad was a Robert and my ds has it as his middle name.

[BothEndsBurning]

Excellent name. Classic, ageless and versatile.

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

Really love it. Love Robert, Robbie and Rob. Hate Bob though.

[Nolim]

I like it

[Sophronia]

It's great!

[Blondie87]

I think Bob is a really cute nn!

[DramaQueenofHighCs]

I love it as its my DS's name. However I don't love it for other people to give their DS as a name as I chose it particularly because it was solid, easy to pronounce but NOT over popular at the moment!

[FishCanFly]

Like Robert, but hate all the nn's he'll most likely be called

[pasbeaucoupdegendarme]

I'm married to one. 6'4" and like a beanpole so a long way from stodgy

[bunny85]

Fish, couldn't agree more. Robert itself sounds lovely, but not sure I'll be able to cope with Bob and the like..

[bunny85]

Thank you everyone for your responses!

[reuset]

A fine name
