These are the Bobs I like, I like, These are the Bobs I like. (Top 10 Real Bobs)

Bobs, as I’ve always known them, are people called Bob. It’s how you would call out to them at a party or on the phone.

A few examples to illustrate the point from this list: I would call Bob Dylan Bob, not Robert. The same is true for the late Bob Uecker. These are great examples because both of their legal names are Robert, but that’s not what they go by.

A Robert by any other name might not make this list

Robert, depending on which source you ask, is the fourth most common name in the United States. When you trace its roots back to Old German for Hrodebert, you get the translation for “bright fame,” likely derived from hrod (fame) and berht (bright).

It is no wonder, then, that our fictional worlds are also thusly populated with Roberts, and here, for your perusal, are my Top 10 Fictional Roberts.

In case it isn’t obvious or if you’re a new reader, I listen to a lot of music.
