Great name for a big dog or a pipe tobacco. Sorry.

Mt friend's son is called Bruno, it suits him. There will never be lots of them. But it makes me think of a bear!

I really like it. If i'd had a boy it would have been a contender. No one I mentioned it to liked it though. All thought it was a dog's name.

Bruno was one of my faves when I was expecting twins - had dtds so not used and no chance in the future. I think it's a great name for a boy.

Bruno.

I think of blonde curly hair, maybe a thumb sucker until 5ish. Big brown eyes. Quite studious, popular with friends. Fun to be around.

Probably fairly comfortable family, definitely two foreign holidays a year.

Eventually be something arty or medical.

No. Bruno is a bear or a dog or some sort of aggressive boxer type.

Ditto quite like, but would depend on the child. Not one for a skinny blond.

I like Bruno, I have a cousin who's ds is a Bruno, she's Italian and her ds is one of those uber cute Italian boys with big brown eyes and long eyelashes and glossy black curls and it suits him to the ground and back up again.

Awful.

First thought: that's Joey's dog in the Chalet School books.

It might work on a human, though the only one I know in RL is Austrian, and I do think of it as a mainland European, rather than a Uk, name.

I love it. Would have used it for a boy.
