Originally posted by robtcorl I was an adult before my family started calling me Bob, instead of Robert.
Grandson Bobby is a Robert already being shortened to Bob by his mom and dad.
They shorten most names, son Tyler became Ty, DiL Margaret is Maggie shortened to Mags.
A bowl of Life cereal with a chopped banana for breakfast. Double the bacon tomorrow.
Our grandson is also a Robert, but he has two additional given names in front of Robert.
When I was a young boy, I was called Bobby by my family, Robert during serious moments and Robby George by my mother when I had stepped out of line, just a bit, maybe caught with my hand in the cookie jar...that kind of thing.
. George was my grandfather's name , who also happened to be my mother's dad.
Then of course there is Les, which is also another of my names.

BTW, I'm certainly no Mario Andretti or Stirling Moss mind you.
