I was looking up some names tonight, and decided to look up Bobby’s full name on behindthename.com. It’s a really great site that goes back to the absolute root of all names, both first and last.
Here’s what I found:
Robert - bright fame (what an irony…)
Cletus - invoked (descended from “Anacletus”)
Driscoll - descendent of the messenger
When I read his first and middle names together, it feels so symbolic to me. “Invoked into bright fame.” He was called into it, pulled into it from a young age whether he was ready, willing, and emotionally able to handle it or not.
Wow, so poignant when looked at that way….
