My first name is Robert and always preferred "Bob". Born in Chicago I always watched the "Howdy-Doody" puppet show. Buffalo-Bob was the host and I thought that was a cool name. Most of life has been in Colorado, where Buffalo (or at least Bison) still roam. Sort of.
Buffalo Bob was available on most sites I visit and I liked it. Reminds me of the cast:
Princess, Summer-Fall Winter-Spring
Howdy Doody
Mister Bluster
Flub-a-dub
maybe others and the Famous:
Peanut Gallery where children sat.
My one and only string puppet lasted until I put it down on the floor. Tangled strings never got sorted out.
"Hi Ya Kids... What Time Is It?"
"It's Howdy Doody time" song yada yada yada
My friends called me Bobbo. After the TV show character Dobie Gillis Uncle Bobbo. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
