We used to have an Uncle Bob, but now we have an Aunty Roberta.

She is really hard to get out at the Family Christmas backyard cricket match.

My Uncles were John and Ted, and my Aunts were Ethel, Mabel, Evelyn, Beatrice and Margaret.
My wife's family was full of a sequence of Bob's all named Robert Lloyd after each other.
Whether they answered to Bob or Lloyd seemed to alternate through the generations.

My uncles are Dave, Richard, Phillip and Mark. No blood related Aunts.
My partners family is full of a sequence of people with the same last name as her, all named after their parents I presume.
Whether they answered to Bob or Robert differs depending on their first names...i am yet to meet them all.

Isn't her grandfather (Steve's dad) called Bob (or a variant of said name) too?
