Bah. Kids will find reasons to make fun of each other no matter what. Having an interesting or uncommon name *does* help with the ladys, later on. Ohhhh yeeeaaahhhhh...

Well, for the true Simpsons spirit, you'd have to name him Bort.
Keep an eye on those little personalized license plates with names on them, though - they run out quick. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

Hmm, If I were to have a child, I would name a girl, Naoki, and/or guy Patrick, which is my name and therefore Patrick the second <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Teagan/Teague. It's my name, and quite uncommon. Don't know why I didn't post it before <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
Comments
I'm going to name every single one of my children AGAMEMNON so i'm prolly not the best person to ask ;D
But off the top of my head Casey or Xander would fit with Roberts pretty well ;o
Flayra, or perhpas Charlie Cleveland II
Mithrandir
"elite" h4x0r (abbreviated 1H)
Although I must say, Calvin Roberts has a good ring to it. Just make sure to give him a stuffed tiger.
Edit: Gordon Freeman is also an excellent name. Gordon Freeman Roberts. Perfect.

I'd hope for him that the Simpsons are forgotten by the time he reaches school age, though.

Anyway... if you were feeling mean, Robert Roberto Roberts would be quite funny, althought not in your "rules"
How about Faction?
- roachems[AR]
Silas Roberts, or Cyrus Roberts are pretty good I think.
Or you could do mine, Taylor. Taylor Roberts. Guess it isn't bad.
Tai Roberts. Or however you want to spell it order to pronounce the word Tie.
I tried looking up some names, but alot of websites are so fruity...
Plus, for some reason, they have like 5000 pop-ups.
Dante Roberts (Since Dante is such a rare name to see)
Jason Roberts
John Roberts (John is not so common a name anymore)
Johann Roberts
Amadeus Roberts
Andrew Roberts (my first name, kinda biased I know)
Charlie Roberts (Get some brownie points from the All-Might Flayra)
Larry Roberts >

Silas sounded good too from two guys so far.
Drake
Apone
Ferro
Kane
Gorman
Hudson
and my fiance's suggestion:
Facehugger
