How2PK Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I was watching the extras of the movie The Untouchables yesterday night. And there was a part about the casting of Robert deNiro for the role of Al Capone, and they originally casted Bob Hoskins. In the end they got everything right financially and DeNiro got the role. But during the interview with DePalma and other crew of the movie they named Robert deNiro Bob deNiro. Now you would think that they called him Bob because they orignally casted Bob Hoskins but in the end took DeNiro. But I have seen people who are named Rob (Futurama for example) name theirselves Bob. So...I was wondering: Why do people who are named Rob(ert) name theirselves Bob? Or why are they called Bob?

somaster989 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 errr....Bob is just a nickname for Robert, that's all. I mean, there is no common name as "Bobert" or anything. Just like Bill is a nickname for William. Don't ask why...just follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
How2PK Posted December 9, 2005 Author Share Posted December 9, 2005 Bill is a nickname for William? That's just plain weird. Just like Robert = Bob. There really isn't a reason for this?
