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

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

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

Sorry but it sounds so solid and stodgy to me.

My DS's name - so obviously I love it Smile

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

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.
