How do I introduce multiple people in Mandarin Chinese?

If I were to introduce two people named Bob and Bill, how would I do it? Would it just be:
? ? Bob, Bill?

You can use this Chinese conjunction: ?

??? Bob ? Bill.

BTW, I think "???..." (they are...) is better than "??..." (this is...).

I would probably say ?? Bob ? Bill.
But anything, really that makes it clear that the names are separate.
Weiwei's answer, for example, is fine.
Gesturing to each person when his name is said would suffice, I think.

can't connect verbs or adj, but nouns are connected very well...
