Despite the difference in spelling, his surname ("Gould") uses the same pronunciation as the element (gold): "gōld". This has prompted some announcers to make announcements such as "Robbie Gould is gold", "Solid Gould" or "Good as Gould" upon his successful field goal attempts.{{Cite web |last=Clark |first=Geoffrey |date=May 14, 2008 |title=Chicago Bears Strike a Gold Mine Signing Robbie Gould through 2013 |url=http://bleacherreport.com/articles/23206-Chicago-Bears-Strike-A-Gould-Mine |access-date=July 21, 2012 |website=Bleacher Report}}

When asked what he would like to do upon retiring from football, Gould said, "I went to Penn State and graduated with a business management degree. I would love to run a huge corporation at some time. Obviously I'm going to take baby steps. I'm going to play in the NFL as long as they will let me play but I've done a pretty good job trying to set myself up for that transition out of football. Whether it's starting to co-host a radio show on ESPN100 or doing Monday morning call-ins after the games with one of the local radio stations or interning with buddies of mine who own huge companies."
