What do you think of the name Robert?

[bunny85]

Just that really

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

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

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

Lovely ,a classic name

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.

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.

My DS's name - so obviously I love it

Love it.

Sorry but it sounds so solid and stodgy to me.

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

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

I love it

quasi

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

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

Excellent name. Classic, ageless and versatile.

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

I like it

It's great!

I think Bob is a really cute nn!

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!

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

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

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

Thank you everyone for your responses!

A fine name
