Hector or Bruno?

[Chocolocolate]

Hi everyone,

just wondered what your opinions are on these names?

Bruno.

Hector.
Bruno is either a bear or a Sasha Baron Cohen character.

Bruno.

The meaning of Hector would put me off.

Bruno - lovely!

Dislike Hector (and its meaning).

neither - they're both dogs names.

exH had a staffie he looked after for a while called Hector - very cute puppy one - but it was still a dog.

and in Disney Cinderella she had a dog called Bruno

What does Hector mean !!! Not that keen on either tbh but Bruno would be more o.kay!!!

They're both dreadful.

Hector: v. t. [imp. & p. p. Hectored; p. pr. & vb. n. Hectoring.]: To treat with insolence; to threaten; to bully; hence, to torment by words; to tease; to taunt; to worry or irritate by bullying.

Bruno is nice.

Don't like Hector at all, I'm afraid. Apart from the meaning, what nicknames could you use - Heck, Hecky .

I don't like either very much but Bruno is better.

Hector

Oh I dont like either at all. Bruno is definately a dog's name to me.

I really don't want it to, but Hector always makes me think of Hannibal Lector! And Bruno - Frank! Really sorry!

I'm fonder of Bruno, but that's because it's a family name.

Come to think of that, whenever there's a name on these threads that (a) is out of middle Europe in the middle of the last century, and (b) everybody hates, I can claim it within my family. Hedwig, Felix, Candida... just waiting for us to get on to Pincus.

My son was almost a Bruno. My x didn't like it much but I almost had my way!

Not keen on Hector but I really love Victor. I know a few Hectors now. I think Victor is the new Hector.

Hector is fab.

Don't really like either, Bruno reminds me of that horrible Sasha Barren Coen film

Like Valiums idea, Victor is nice and along those lines, or maybe Vincent?

Hector's house anyone? (probably just me!)

Hector is awful - meaning and nickname potentials.

Bruno is much nicer imo.

In Greek Hector means 'Steadfast' or "Holding Fast'

Bruno is a dogs name..please pick Hector...!

Yes, but in English it means 'Bully'.

Vile names.

sorry to say this but really can't warm to either name.

My DD was going to be Bruno if she'd been a boy (obviously). Marvellous name and underused in my opinion.
