The collapse of the Bob-osphere in college football and beyond does raise an important question: does T-Bob Hebert count in the legion of Bobs, or is he merely an Acadian derivative? Our unofficial opinion: T-Bob is short for "Petit Bob," as his real birth name is "Bobby Hebert." Being a Bobby is an entirely different universe than that of being a "Bob." A "Bobby" greets you with a warm hug, and possibly a tousling of the hair, before inviting you to manly cavorts and public giggling. A "Bob" has only hugged his wife, and possibly a Polynesian mistress from the war that he never talks about, ever.

I was told there would be no math.

For then the greatest quarterback name to ever grace an SEC sideline could be properly lauded.

Only slightly tangential....
Ever notice that noone named Richard who’s under 50 goes by “Dick”?

Refuted.
I have a friend who went to school with me and still goes by ‘Dick’ and is under 30 (barely).
Family name. He got the giggle short end of it I guess. Only so many kids can be Richard or Rich.

Why is "Jack" a nickname for John?
How is this saving time or effort for anybody?

Grew up with a kid named B.J.
His full name was Billy Jack. As in, that was on his birth certificate.

True story
In college, there was a guy who lived on my dorm floor named Richard Sucher III (pronounced Sooker). So not only could his name be shortened to Dick Sucker, but his family felt it necessary to pass that name along two extra generations.
Named my kid Robert
But since have moved to New Orleans. Its just a matter of time before he’s a Bobby, or Bobbah, or some other mutation of the given name. As long as its not Bert.
And the best part, is that he's Learning.
Even more uncertain
Demond “Bob” Sanders of indianapolis colts fame and currently with the Chargers, who went by the nickname bob for no other reason than he was tired of explaining how to pronounce his given name.
I’m hoping his wife’s name is Betty or Helen or Gertrude.

Im a Robert
Things people call me:
Rob
Robert
Robert [middle name] {family and a few female friends - every male member of my mother’s family is named Robert, as is my Father, so the middle names were necessary}—
-
Neutral:
Bob {Bob is my Dad, but it doesnt annoy me}
--
Pisses me off:
Bobby
--
Results in you ending up in a shallow grave:
Robby
