What's in a name...

I call myself Robert because my mother told me that's the name she first chose for me, but my paternal grandmother overuled her, saying that my nickname would be Bob and that's horrible.

I think that's more common than you'd think, getting overruled on names. My dad came back from the register office, apparently, just deciding to give me a middle name without having said anything, and the name they had chosen for my fiirst name was spellt wrong on the birth certificate!!
