Rob and the California George Family

My second ever post to this Blog was a discussion of variations of names that I go by. In that entry, I mentioned that "Bob" is my least favorite variation. I don't know why, it just strikes me as wrong for me. It works very well for many other people.

However, for some reason today it hit me just how versatile a name it is. Not many names fall into all of these categories: palindrome, acronym (Break Out Box, Best Of Breed, Bureau of the Budget, Big Old Bug, etc.), verb, hair style, fishing implement, a term for money (old term for British shilling and current abbreviation for the Bolivian Bolivano), a Shoemaker, a type of sled, type of bird (Bob White Quail), and more. There are other uses of the word, but they get more obscure and silly.
