Because we need more questions that make you think, now this time we'll look at the demonic twin boys of this game. I noticed that some fan fictions love to portray them as that Bobby and Dan are only the nicknames for their real names, which are Robert "Bobby" Burroughs and Daniel "Dan" Burroughs. Now do you believe that these boy's real names could be Robert and Daniel? Or do you think that it's always been Bobby and Dan. Let us know your opinions! =D

Seeing as how most guides and stuff never mention the names Robert and Daniel for Bobby and Dan, I have to go with that has always been their names. Even though it does make for an unique storyline to have that be their names. Because it does sound a bit more "noble" than just typical Bobby and Dan.

I would have thought their names to be Robert and Daniel Burroughs, simply because of the royal feel to the names and keeping in consistency of family names. Simon and Mary, although I don't know the history behind the names, sound very aristocratic to me, so it wouldn't make sense in my mind that they'd name their child something quite as socially domesticated as "Bobby".

Don't know about Dan though. It sounds posh enough as it is, without extending it into "Daniel". Furthermore a name like that would carry religious value which might affect the gaming experience for some people.

The religious part is exactly why I think that they would name him Daniel. XD They're weird and twisted like that...

But yeah, I'm one of the crazy people who think that their real names are Robert and Daniel, maybe they just hate their full names and attacked the Guide Writers when they tried to put their names down? ^~ Bahahaha

*snort!*

To be honest, I think their names are just Bobby and Dan. If they were only nicknames and not their real names I'm rather sure the games would have hinted at that somehow.

I'm sure their original names are just Bobby and Dan. I mean, the thought of Robert and Daniel makes me feel... like they don't belong in there. Don't ask.

Either way, I don't really think it does matter since even if their true names are Robert and Daniel, they're constantly called Bobby and Dan anyhow. But enough of my indifferent attitude. My opinion is that their names are Bobby and Dan. If they were Robert and Daniel, some source would have made indication to that.

Bobby and Dan aren't usually stand-alone names, but I think Daniel and Robert are a little too normal to be the full versions. Mary strikes me as the sort of woman who'd give her children elaborate romance-novel names, like, I dunno, Robin and Sheridan. :lol: Either way, they probably prefer Bobby and Dan.

Because it's a confusing name.

I would have to go with Robert and Daniel, because of them:

a) Living in a huge mansion (sign of wealth).
B) Religion (Definitaly a big one).
c) Mary (The way she is, I seriously don't think that they would be just Bobby and Dan, even though she calls Bobby and Dan by their respective names in the game.)

Those are my views anyways.

I forgot that Bobby can also be Bob. But I can't take Bobby seriously if his name was Bob.
