Robert 
English, "Famous brilliance"
Robert is all about consistency; it has remained at the top of the charts as a solid, well-bred, if somewhat colorless name for centuries, from the brave Scottish warrior Robert the Bruce to the gruff but charming actor Robert DeNiro. As for nicknames, Robbie is sounding much more contemporary these days than the old standby Bobby.
