Thoughts on Robert/Robbie

Dp has suggested the name Robert for potential future ds. I imagine he'd probably be Robbie at primary school, then Rob when older (Bobby/Bert not really our style, though fine if he chooses that later of course).

What are your initial thoughts on hearing these names? Would you have any pre-conceived ideas about a little Robbie or his family? Ideally I'd love to hear what you think and why, rather than just yay or nay iyswim.

Thanks all!

susurration - thanks for the input. Could you explain why you don't like Robbie?

I went to school with a nice Robert, (till he turned into a bit of an idiot aged about 16, though thats more to do with teenagerdom) Its ok, bit boring IMO. Don't like Robbie at all.
