I still can't stand Bob, Bobby, Robby and Bert, but Robert is kind of nice. I especially like the meaning. Too dated? I know it's a classic but it has a 50s feel, in my opinion. I don't mind Rob, but I think I prefer just Robert.

Would people call him Bob? Still too common?

The weird thing is I never knew a Robert who went by Robert in the US. Just so so many guys named Bob. I guess that's why it still sounds somewhat fresh to me.
