I can't get over the fact that he's called Bruce

[BenMichellsGlasses]

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?

We had a dachshund called Bruce. But he was named after Bruce Forsyth as we love him in our family.

So long as you're not Anthea you'll be just fine.

Higher then the Jack for the car! Good game, good game.

if you're not going to be able to get past it! you'll have to let him go. But what if he's The One?!

Was chatted up by an Orville once. The surname was dodgy too and as a combo it was horrifying, can't put it here because he must be the only one! DS wet herself laughing when I told her

Bloody iPad likes ! instead of commas...

Bruce Willis? Bruce Springsteen? Bruce Wayne? He's in good company. Seriously though, if you really, genuinely liked and fancied someone you wouldn't give a shit what their name was.

OP: in RL are you called Sheila?

Bruce Lee!
wibble
(actually I know someone actually christened Bruce Lee - he's wonderful)

sorry, attack of the 'actually's

I wasn't expecting it to be Bruce. I quite like it. Know a couple of Kev's that I like too. And poor dh there is nothing wrong with Martin. I always wanted a Martin of my own because my fiends dh was so fab and I got one.

It was inevitable that someone would post this picture. I'm just glad it gets to be me for once. Enjoy

I had a bf once and after I dumped him, my mate said I knew it wouldn't last because you winced every time you said his name.

I fear your aversion to his name is just a symptom of the er bigger problem.

OP, I don't like the name either.
It makes me think of Bruce Jenner.

Thanks for inadvertently reminding me to order the new Springsteen box set!

What's not to like?

I had a date with a chap called Bruce - he was absolutely lovely but blew me out lol If it's the same one you are BVVVU and I'm very, very jealous

It could be worse.

Embrace the awfulness - call him Brucie.

There's a Bruce in my class. It's a great name. Don't be so shallow.

I had a partner who's name was so awful I never called him it once in 5 years. He was lovely though.

I associate the name with old men's names.

Bruce Forsythe and Bruce Jenner being two I can think of.

Bruce Willis...yippee kie yay!

Better than Roger...

Is the name Bruce having something of a revival? There's a Bruce in my 6yo Dd's class - I think it's a fab name for a wee boy!

Er hello...BATMAN!

I snogged a boy called Bruce when I was 15 and I had exactly the same reaction.

I'm still embarrassed now.
