About Bob
Kids love Bob the Builder, but do they want to be Bob the Builder? Bob and Bobby have been out of style since the 1960s, but as vintage nickname-names -- Fred, Archie -- come back into vogue, Bob may tag along. Charlie Sheen used it for one of his twin sons.
Bob is also given to girls.
Pronounced BOB.
As of October 2026, Bob ranked #8103 in US births in 1970 SSA, peaked at #2047 in 1932.
