Hey all, i'm pretty sure my name's unique, but does anyone happen to know if it has any particular origin? (Please don't say Star Wars, i've heard that a million times! Besides i was born before the films)

A very long shot...The Oxford English Dictionary lists "boban" and "bobance", obsolete words of Old French origin meaning "boasting, pride, pomp".

Do you have any family members named Robert or Bob? If so, it could be possible, and I'm guessing, that your parents wanted to give you a feminine form of the name Robert and called you Boba instead of going with something traditional like Roberta. Anyone else have any thoughts?
