For eons people have been changing it to Bob or a variation of. Isn't it a clue that nobody likes that name?

I guess you could say that about ANY name. Most names ARE shortened for everyday use.

I'd rather be a Robert/Bob than a Richard/Dick.

I wouldn't name my kid a nickname or shortened version of the name.
Robert, not Rob or Bob Michael, not Mike Elizabeth, not Beth |

Robert is a great given name because there are many variations. Let's a person express inner multiple personalities, if necessary.

Most of the Roberts that I know around my age go by Robert, actually. There are a couple 'Robs' but I've only ever met one person under 25 who goes
by 'Bob'.

How the fuck do you get "Bob" from Robert anyway?At least Bob rhymes with Rob, which is an abreviation for Robert A better question is how they get Dick from Richard? I mean, that makes as much sense as calling someone named Roger "Anus". |

Bob is waaaaaaaaaay worse than Robert. They both suck, but still. John, Bill, Tom, Tim, etc. all suck way worse.
