At least where I live, I doubt that people would call him Bob, which has long since gone out of fashion. Some people might call him Bob jokingly, but I don't imagine it going beyond that. All of the Roberts I have met under the age of 40 or so have gone by Robert, Rob, or Robby / Robbie. Even my uncle who is in his late 40s goes by Rob. If I remember correctly, the Bobs I know are all at least 60, although there might be some in their 50s.

Robert isn't a name I would use myself, but I don't mind it all that much. I used to really dislike the sound of it, and I'm still not too keen on it being close to the word "robber", but it's a respectable name.
