That must be the European French version. In Québec, the threat of anglicisation is too great to allow him to keep an Anglo-Saxon name like Bob, so it’d be Jean-Bertrand l’Éponge or something.

In Turkey, go-to stereotypical French name is Jean Pierre. I don't know what you would do with this information though.

They wanted to teach kids about important historical figures in Quebec, so his name is René Léponsge
