Did you have to use “Bob”? It’s not THAT common of a name, is it?... ;-)

I have a brother-in-law Bob, a cousin Bob, friends named Bob... almost as common as the Daves I know...

I was going to use John Doe or Richard Roe, but somehow Snoopy-as-lawyer kept on running thru my head...

I was just kidding really - for years, I had two classmates named Robert in my grade school days and then in my HS days, I had 2 other Parkers in my homeroom (they were brother and sister and I ended up sitting between them due to our first names in the alphabet). One time in a restaurant, I made the mistake of using Bob when waiting for a table. Some time goes by and we ask where is our table and the hostess tells us that the ‘Bob party’ was seated a half hour ago!

Kinda interesting the number of repeat names show up in the AFOL Community - Daves, Johns, Mels, Ann(e)s, etc. (but there’s only ONE Janey).
