But I don't see being called "Bob" as a bad thing. When I am called ¨Bob¨ I know they have forgotten my name. But for some reason itś always Bob.

You can guess what they call me when they have forgotten my name. It isn’t always “professor”.
It doesn’t bother me, but it does put a little gold star on their name-tag, if you know what I mean.

That is because they are playing the odds.
I once worked at a place that had no less then twelve "Bobs". It made running the front desk fun.
"Which Bob? We have a dozen for you to choose from."
"The one in sales."
"That leaves you with four to pick from."
"Argh!"
Funny thing is that I can only remember a few of the names of the people there but I can still reel off the first and last names of all twelve Bobs.
