people never know what to call me when they first meet me at work or something since my name is Robert and no one calls me Robert. I go by Bob. Bobby is fine, Robert I can deal with but I HATE Rob and Robby. Lots of people tell me I don't look like a Bob . Most people are fine with my last name but once in awhile foreign people will pronounce it "Hoe" instead of "How" since it has the e on the end.
