Bob Boyle: Hi, my name is Bob Boyle and it rhymes with tin foil or motor oil. My real actual full name is Robert Francis Boyle, but I would only hear that if I did something wrong as a kid. My parents would yell out, "Robert Francis Boyle!" and I would know that I was in some sort of trouble. For some reason, they also would occasionally call me Roberto, even they are not Spanish at all. But, you can call me Bob. And the cool thing about Bob is that it's a palindrome. You can spell it the same way forward or backwards. B-o-b is Bob. That's me.
