Best Answer

Bob Marley went by many names growing up. However, how he started going by Bob is when he went to the United States the first time, the person who was filling out his passport said that Bob Marley should not go by Nesta ( Bobs real name is actually Nesta Robert Marley.) because it would be taken as a girl name in the US so they changed it to Robert Nesta Marley instead and so later he started going by Bob to shorten it and so the name would be more American like.
