    Robert:

    First name variations: Burto, Berto, Robbi, Robbie, Robbee, Robby, Róbert, Roberto, Rupert, Rubert, Robertson, Robin, Robinson, Robbins, Robben, Riobard, Robby, Robbie, Robey, Rober, Rab, Rob, Bobby, Bob, Bert, Berty, Tito, Dob, Dobbs


  2. Rob, Robbie, Bob, Bobby, Plumb Bob, Bert, Berty, Robert (with a french roe-bare pronunciation), Roe.

  3. Bob, Bobby, Rob, Robby and Bert are the common nicknames for Robert, but there have been Roberts nicknamed Red, Slats, Curly, Catfish and Buck.

    "Pete" is usually a nickname for Peter, but not always. General James Longstreet, a confederate soldier, was known as "Old Pete". This is from a biography:

    [...] his father, also named James, nicknamed him "Pete" for its meaning of "sturdy and trustworthy,"[...]

    (Jesus loved a good pun. He told St. Peter "You are the rock on which I will found my church". St. Peter's name in greek was "Petros", which means "rock". The same root comes out in our "petroglyph").

    So, if your Robert is solid as a rock, he might have had that nickname; also if he was slippery as an eel and dishonest as a politician with a $300 haircut. There are lots of bald men nicknamed "Curly" and there have been NFL linebackers nicknamed "Tiny".

  4. All the ones I know are Bob, Rob, Bobby, I actually call my friend Bobert when we're being dumb.
