Name Origin[]

"This guy came on stage and didn't hear my name properly, so he started to make up all different names. He asked me if it was Kate. I said, "Yeah, Kate is a drag name". Then I started to just make it more simple, and decided Bob... Bob The Drag Queen... and I thought it was funny, and then I created my name."[7]

Drag Family[]

Bob claims to be the drag daughter of drag queens Sherry Vine and Peaches Christ,[8] the latter making Bob and Jinkx Monsoon (Season 5 and All Stars 7 winner) drag sisters.[9] Bob also claims Bianca Del Rio and Peppermint as queens that helped them succeed in their early drag career.

Even though they don't share the same drag mothers, Monét X Change (Season 10 contestant and All Stars 4 winner) and Bob also consider themselves drag sisters.
