Met a nice guy, been out a couple of times but he's called Bruce and it angers me! It makes me cringe and I can't seem to get over it. AIBU to just give up on him over it?

Well it could be worse. Give him a nickname if he's worth it.

What's wrong with Bruce?

YANBU. If his name annoys you so much, he obviously not the one for you. Throw him back for another woman to have, plenty more fish in the sea.

Have you said 'nice to see you' to him yet?



Or just g'day. (For some reason I also associate Bruce with Australians

I have two friends who are married to a Bruce. Both are hard workers and great dads. I think it's quite manly actually.

Sorry, I'd have to sing at him all the time, I'd find a nickname pronto!

"Lets call a truce, Bruce. The time has come to put that tumberly tum to use.

Come on Bruce be our hero! Cover yourself in chocolate mousse!"

My neighbour is Bruce. My friends son is Bruce. What's wrong with it. I would ditch him if I were you - do him a favour!

I quite like it.

I did have an ex that I referred to for nearly 2 years as "my boyfriend" to avoid saying his name out loud.

My childhood sweetheart was a Bruce.

Most genuine, realistic and kind person I've ever known, I often wonder what he's doing now Smile

Call him B 😄

I went out with a Barry and a Gary. Hated their names.

Refused to be set up with a Nigel once based on his name 😳

As demented says, it's quite common up here - no big deal.

Now Nigel or Trevor.... Grin

Just don't use his name! I hardly ever call my DH by his actual name, I just use a series of pet names. (His name is fine though and so is Bruce)

Bruce? Quite sexy.

I imagine a guy with a beard and broad shoulders and a nice, cheeky smile.

I'd shag Bruce.
