Our Bob came from the shelter as Ollie, but he was never Ollie.

Ollie became Oddball -> Bobbles -> Bob. And Bob just seemed right.

We have rescued a lot of cats over the years and I have always told people that they kind of name themselves. Just like Ollie became Bob cause that's who he really is.
