Bob, short for Bobert. So that every time he has to say his full name to anyone on the phone or fill out forms somewhere, he has to repeatedly explain that, no, it's not Robert, it's Bobert.
Extra points if you tell him it's because of Lauren Boebert, the classiest woman to walk this earth.

Ted, get off of Lemmy.
You monster.
Robert with a B
Ngl i have considered calling every Rob/Bob i know Bobert, but i like this idea better
I knew someone who did that to me in high school. I hated him, for many reasons, mind, but that was one. I hated him enough to be almost glad his wife died. Not that I am, and nothing against her, just⦠fuck him.
Iβve been called Bert by one guy, and sometimes I wonder if I should have run with that. Another guy would call me Rootbeer. I was totally fine with that, as you can see.
Tombert.
