I know why they're all called BOB: to drive z/OS, you can't drink ;-)

About 10 years ago an action was organized in Belgium to avoid drunk 
drivers: people driving to a party should select a BOB, the guy that 
wouldn't drink alcohol and drive the company home.  I don't know who 
selected BOB as name, but it was a success, and since then everyone here 
know who BOB is.  I heard that a similar action was since then undertaken 
in other countries, but with another name than BOB.

I wonder why they're all named Bob.  That's sort of weird.
