I am sure it probably comes from people calling others "Bud" as in short for buddy. People pick this up and it gets changed to Bob. Sometimes when you can't recall the name of guy you don't see often you may call him Bud or Bub or even Bob just because it doesn't imply that you forgot his name.
Also, probably because of Cartoons. All of the male newscasters were always named Bob
this is random..... but my dad called my brother -baby and buddy at the same time and ended up squashing the two names together forming bubby!!!!! isn't that funny?!
