Wouldn't his underpants need to be square as well? His show name is Sponge Bob's Square Pants, after all. Or maybe those aren't his underpants he's sniffing...

Also, since I think of it every time I see SpongeBob, I just want to let others know that his name translated to Spanish is "Esponja Beto Pantalones Quadrados".

Sponge Bart Pants of Quadrilateral Style?

Pretty much. Except Beto is the nickname for Roberto in Spanish, just like Bob is the nickname for Robert in English.

Interesting, I'm mostly around Cubans and they call their Roberts Robe. But I've heard that Cubans hate the endings of all words and names are no exception.

Yeah, I think that's more just actually saying "Robert", but with a heavy accent.

In German he's called "Spongebob Schwammkopf", meaning Spongebob Sponge Head.
