Well, there is this one, but I think there's more buried in another thread.

Thanks...

I don't think any forum can controll the handles people choose, except maybe word-replacement for the occasional troll that decides to use an off-color word for a handle (I've seen this happen on another board I used to hang around). And I'm tempted to ask to have my handle changed to "Bob Fangurl", while we're on the subject.

Nah, I'll stick to the odd name I use for a character on the Matrix Online, said name being a combination of "Morrigan", the Celtic goddess of death and "aeon", a class of god-like beings according to the Gnostic sub-set of Christianity.

In 1991 Robert was the 13th most popular name.

By 2005 it had dropped to 39th.

That is still a lot of Bobs.

I wonder if the name will now grow more popular?

I have a desire to get a Dresden screen name and post one big topic that says "Bobs, get in your collective skull."

Well...I was actually referring to the way TV Dresden shouts it, but I guess it's open for interpretation.

I started reading Dresden files because my cousin wanted me to name my skull (from my anatomy class) Bob. He lend me the books and the rest is history... and now a female skull is named Bob....and I have became part of the  the name your skull Bob cult.

I've started calling the skull on my mother's desk (a very real-looking fakey we bought at an after-Hallowe'en sale) Bob and even having fake two-way conversations with it

I had a friend in college who's nickname was Bob, and it really wouldn't suprise me if that skull you had was her.

Rescued a mutant frog who had no legs once.   Couldn't decide whether to call him Bob or Legoless.
