It's just a common name ppl come up with and usually ppl say that name at random times if you haven't noticed.

it's a common name, and if you say it enough it sounds weird. other than that, most people have name stereotypes- a lot of people think that names like brittany, courtney, or lindsey are preppy names. kind of the same deal.

The same reason you'd picture Gertrude and Bertha as old women, and Dexter as somebody kind of nerdy. It's just name stereotypes, and everyone does it.

I think of:
Sloppy
Slacker
Obese
Trucker
Plumber
Grimy
Dirty
Sweaty.
I am not really sure where I picked up that idea though, haha.

Because people tend to stereotype each other by their names. They tend to think of Bob as some overweight, smelly, pants not big enough/too big so they slide down to show your dirty whitey tighties plumber- type guy. I do, atleast. It's human nature, I suppose. If I were to meet a Bob that was completely the opposite of what I had in mind, though, my idea of the name would change.
