8. I have a supervisor at work that likes to be called "Bobby"

The guy is an asshole and 50+ years old. Why would a 50+ year old man want to be called "Bobby"? If stuck with the name of Robert I would go by Bob or Rob or Robert.

32. I often hear other celebrities call Robert DeNiro "Bobby."

It comes off as if they are trying to sound close to and chummy with him...but maybe he likes it? I like Rob as a nickname for Robert.

13. Just about any of today's trendy or "creative" names

I find it hard to imagine a grownup called "Kayleigh" or "Casey" being taken seriously. And those aren't as bad as the ghastly names in the thread from last week. IIRC, the worst one there was Squirrelisha.

it was in a Lounge thread about awful names last week. If search is working you may be able to find it.

Combine a chronic affliction from which you suffer, a fruit that works well in pie, and the last name of your favorite 18/19th century president.

I always liked it, though. To what extent we identify with our given/middle name is another interesting issue.

28. Precious

I know 5 females named Precious. Two of them are kids, and IMHO it's a little corny. One is a teenager, and it sorta fits. For the two adults, I used to feel wierd calling them "Precious," but it wears off.

Tommy Bill Smith (only it wasn't Smith).

Any name that stems from a nickname sounds strange on an adult.

I know a very well-to-do couple who, for reasons known only to themseleves, named their son Cletus. Huh? They're not even from the south...

Every single time I see that kid all I can think of is "Cletus the slack-jawed yokel" from the Simpsons.
