Bruno?

[Hulaballoo]

Still so undecided on boys names...Bruno was my grandad's name-Italian. DH really likes it...DC blurted out to MIL and she said it's a dog's name. I understand where she's coming from.. But a bit down now ... What do you think of the name? We haven't had one that clicks for both of us.

I think of Sacha Baron-Cohen, sorry.

I love it! And didn't think 'dogs name' when I read that. Thought of Bruno Mars! I know dogs called Oscar, Freddie, Alfie, Charlie etc etc so personally I wouldn't let that put me off!

I think of Bicycle Thieves - so sweet. Great name

I think Frank Bruno - I always think it sounds very masculine

My mind goes straight to Bruno Mars! So wouldn't worry about that 'dog name' comment. If you love it, go for it! I don't see the issue.
I like the name, but would personally use it only as a middle name as it is quite a particular name, and doesn't feel very modern or timeless to me (basically just not my style).

Great name! And there's little chance of there being another in his class. Fab choice

I know two (one child, one adult), think it's a fabulous name. I would have liked it for DC, but doesn't go with our surname.

Sadly my instant thought was 'dog' but I think that goes back to a childhood (and not so childhood) obsession with the Chalet School books.

Yep, it’s a dog’s name.

At the school I went to, Bruno would have bullied massively. And I think still now, this name would be found comical by some.

When we got a dog the first dog we met was Bruno.

Also it strikes me as the sort of name Roald Dahl would give a nose picker! (Sorry)

I quite like it.

Never met a dog called Bruno - have met doggy Oscar Charlie and Harry, Jake, Otto - no-one seems to think those are dog’s names.

I think of Frank Bruno or a really fat person. Not sure why.

My dog is called Bruno. Not sure if that's helpful or not but I love the name

My 12 year old cousin is Bruno, he is a cool kid and likes his name.

I know a Bruno - he is of Italian descent I believe. I don't mind it to be honest. It doesn't make me think of a dog!

I love it!! Super cute and if it has a meaning to it even more so!! Ignore what others say, no matter what name you choose people will always have an opinion!!

I like it too !

I like it. I don't think it's a dog's name.

sorry all i can think of is 'My name is Bruno, i am 19 yearss old...'

and 'das is nicht meine haarbrush'

I hate that ‘it’s a dog’s name’ bullshit. Unless you’re going for ‘fido’ it really isn’t a dog’s name. Just because people (especially recently) call their dogs by names that are also used for humans doesn’t suddenly render it a dog’s name!

I thought of the character Bruno Martelli in the 80's series Fame. am showing my age

I LOVE Bruno! I know the sweetest 6yo called Bruno so nothing but fondness for the name from me

Sorry Bruno is a dogs name in uk.

Also Bruno the bear.
Plus don't like the name any way.

Bruno is the German boy in The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas.

I had a pet rabbit called Bruno.
