Bob is a male nickname or occasionally a given name, most common in English speaking countries such as the United States, Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. It most likely originated from the nickname Rob, short for Robert. Rhyming names were popular in the Middle Ages, so Richard became Rick, Hick, or Dick, William became Will or Bill, and Robert became Rob, Hob, Dob, Nob, or Bob.[1][2]
While it is impossible to count the popularity of Bob as a nickname, in 1960 nearly 3,000 babies in the United States were given the name Bob compared to fewer than 50 in 2000.[3]

Note: We can not assume that Name Nickname because Name is not unique. For example, one John Smith may have the nickname “Johnny” while another John Smith has the nickname “Joe”. If Name Nickname then John Smith (“Johnny”, “Joe”) which means that both nicknames apply to both John Smiths. But this is not the case – each John Smith has only one nickname, and they are not the same.

My mom named me Liliangel because her name is Florangel and she wanted us to be connected so she put the first part of my name a flower and added the angel to it. My nickname Lili came from everyone pronouncing my name wrong. When I was little kids in my class would say my name like Lili-an-hell. Also people would spell my name wrong there were many versions including: Lilliangel, Lillyangel, Lilyangel, Lili Angel and worst of all Liliangle. I got so sick of this, so I asked everyone to call me Lili. That is why everyone calls me Lili I am the queen of nickname I have about 100. I have grown to love my nickname more than of my real name. If I could choose a new nickname I would choose Angel even though it is the other part of my name no one
My research paper topic is going to on Thomas Anderson, co-founder of the social networking website MySpace in 2003. The reason why I chose Mr.Anderson is because he revolutionize social media and how we communicate on the Internet. He later became president of MySpace and was also an advisor for the website until he left in 2009. Tom was one of those individuals who like change. He did once say that anyone who knew him before college would have thought he would grow up and be a musician for the rest of his life. All that changed when he came up with the social media website MySpace. If it wasn't for Tom Anderson, social media websites, like Facebook, Twitter, etc., wouldn't be like it is today. If anyone chose Tom Anderson please email me

But then my parents died a few days after I was born. Well i was around the age of 14 when a man on the street walks up to me and asked me if I wanted a job, i said sure why not... so what is the job the man said a deliver boy job.

Well, at Christmas it can definitely get a little confusing. In my family we have 4 Jack’s. The first Jack is me, of course. Next, is my grandpa, which is my mom’s dad, everybody usually calls him Big Jack. Then my dad’s, stepdad, is also named Jackie, but everybody prefers to call him Jack. Lastly, my uncles dog is named Jack. It is very confusing at Christmas, everybody is always saying one of our names, and all four of us (including the dog) turn and look. Apparently, nobody planned this, but I think differently. We are working on nicknames, so it doesn’t get too confusing!
