Obert Skye: Hello. My name is Obert Skye. It's kind of like Robert without the R, and it's pronounced Obert just like it sounds. I lived in France for a long time, and a lot of people call me Obear, but the correct pronunciation is Obert. It comes from ancestors. They lived Aisle of Skye outside of Scotland, and I had a very stubborn great-great-great-great-grandfather that his wife was always calling after him, Obert. His name was Bert. That name just came on down the line. Kept getting called Obert. Now, I'm Obert from it. The last name is Skye. A lot of people think the name is made up, but it happens to just be my name. So, Obert Skye.
