Not sure whether...
a. this has been done before, or
b. anyone cares, but
I had 2 friends called Robert. One was a Bob and one was a Robert. Neither was a Rob.
I have one "super-hero" - he is a Robert, never a Rob but sometimes a Bob....? But it is only by the media have I seen him referred to as Bob.
Never (as far as I know) has he called himself Bob or by fellow band members present or past - so where did this Bob/Bob Smith/Mad Bob come from?
For me, he doesn't even look remotely like a "Bob". If he fixed plumbing incidents or could turn his hand at re-wiring then I could imagine myself saying to Mrs Santiago, "we better ring Bob Smith, he'll sort it out (and he's cheap), I hope he leaves his dog in the car this time". But not to describe the man who penned a number of well known (and some not so well known) pop hits.
What do you think - Rob, Bob or Ragtail (that's Robert...)

ps. Its always Gene - never Gee.
