Notes 1 Nob's name is never directly explained, but in English the nickname 'Nob' would usually be an abbreviation of 'Norbert'. The fact that his fellow servant at the Prancing Pony, Bob, had a name that was a shortened version of 'Robert' implies that this connection is perhaps more than coincidence.
