Apart from Robert and Robin

[DuelingFanjo]

What can 'Bob' be short for?

"I want you to be my......live-in chum"

Yes! "Kate, short for, urm, BOB!"

" I fancy I know what a gentleman keeps in his tights, young Bob"

Just seen these responses.

I am still stuck on Bob and wouldn't ever ever use Bobby.

Why is it silly?

If you love Bob then just call him Bob! One of my best friends is a girl whose initials are B.O.B. Everyone calls her Bob. So maybe you could go first name Brian middle names Oswald Bertie Juuust kidding. Honestly though, there is nothing wrong with just naming your child what you want to name your child, who cares if Bob isn't fashionable?

Oh, yes, and I thought of Blackadder too

Oh DJ fancy seeing you here!

Huge thumbs up from me! DS1 is Bob, but registered Robert. DH choice - Bob Paisley was 'the best football manager never knighted'. Bitter? No.....

He is the only one I know over here and it really suits him. Some of the kids at school call him Bobby which really grates on me, but I can't do anything about that.

I shall save Blackadder for when he's older - I can now remember the 'Bob' bit cropping up in a maths class problem when I was 15! (Only 4 channels then...)

3 dobbys my arse.

I knew a Bobby. A lovely boy.

I know a Barbara called Bob

What do you call a man with no body, arms or legs swimming in the sea?
