- Rob
- Robert
- Robert (ala Francais: ro-Baire; try rolling the "r" for more fun)
- Roberto (roll the "r" even harder)
- Bobby Joe
- Endicott [often slowly enunciated, with special emphasis on each syllable]
- Dude [that's what Nathaniel calls me when he's not thinking too hard]
I'd even take the Dallas version, how JR Ewing (Larry Hagman) referred to Patrick Duffy's character:
"mmmBobby" (You've got to say the "Bobby" part fast; try it--you can't fail to sound just like JR!)
Just never a "Bob". To paraphase Stewie on Family Guy: "So help me, don't call me 'Bob.' For every time you call me 'Bob,' I shall kill you."

I have come to like my name very well, either Barb or Barbara. In the early sixties, it was fun to be called Barbie (like the doll). But in junior high, I really wished my name was Debbie. All the popular girls seemed to be called Debbie.
What do you call a guy with no arms and legs floating in a pool?
I also like Robbie. I gave Sharon trouble once for spelling it with a "y" (not a good move).
Steve's post does not dignify a response. Like Jim Edmonds.
