Despite the misleading spelling of his surname, "Gould" is pronounced "gōld", just like gold, prompting many announcers to dub him "Robbie Gould is gold", "Solid Gould" or "Good as Gould" after successful field goals.
His good friend and teammate Patrick Mannelly facilitates every field goal and extra point he kicks as the Bears' long snapper.
His younger brother, Chris Gould, is a kicker in the Arena Football League, formerly for the Chicago Rush and presently (as cited above) for the Arizona Rattlers. His cousin Brandon Thomas Gould was an offensive lineman for Bethune-Cookman University before his graduation in 2010.

Famous quotes containing the words personal life, personal and/or life:
“The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To “see the light” too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Take two kids in competition for their parents’ love and attention. Add to that the envy that one child feels for the accomplishments of the other; the resentment that each child feels for the privileges of the other; the personal frustrations that they don’t dare let out on anyone else but a brother or sister, and it’s not hard to understand why in families across the land, the sibling relationship contains enough emotional dynamite to set off rounds of daily explosions.”
—Adele Faber (20th century)
“I can no more think of my own life without thinking of wine and wines and where they grew for me and why I drank them when I did and why I picked the grapes and where I opened the oldest procurable bottles, and all that, than I can remember living before I breathed.”
—M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)
