  1. bob is a bad name. I knew a bob once. he kept saying we were twinning but we were not. He’s a pedophile I’m not so we are not twinning. My poor niece Bobethina . She didn’t deserve a father like that.

  2. I thought of this name for a person I was making (yes his actual name is Bob) and he is (no offense) dumb. Reasoning: he eats raw sugar only but has diabetes. :/
    Again no offense. Just wanted to mention that.

  3. The name Bob as a boy name, reminds me of a bald man.

    • Sponge BOB!!! 🙂
