Bruce?

What does MN think?

Can't decide if baby Bruce is cute or crazy.

My immediate go to was Springsteen (cool), DH's was Batman (also cool), and then we thought of Forsythe.... 😂🙈

My immediate thought is Forsythe. But I suppose Bruce Willis is quite cool maybe?

I know a Bruce in their 20s. It surprised me. I don’t hate it.

BertieBotts · 22/03/2021 21:22

I suppose about the cool 20yo, but do you really think so? I don't think it works like that, I think the association is "old man" for ages before it tips over into cute or good old fashioned strong name.

I couldn't have imagined going to school with a Molly for example which came back about 15/20 years after my time.

My favourite sportman's called Bruce. He's a Kiwi misses point of thread

Forest27 · 22/03/2021 21:47

I’m not a fan. Makes me think of the shark from
Finding Nemo 😂

DramaAlpaca · 22/03/2021 21:54

Dear lord, no!

partyatthepalace · 22/03/2021 22:05

It's not crazy at all but I don't like it / find it slightly... comic?

headlock · 22/03/2021 22:23

I like it.

jackstini · 22/03/2021 22:43

Both the Bruces I know are lovely, one 40s, other 60s

I still think 'Australian' and prefer Bruno though

Jasharps · 22/03/2021 22:45

I love it but I'm a big Springsteen fan! Think it would be cool

Ingridla · 22/03/2021 22:48

Dear god no. Sounds like a burly tattooed Australian.

AllTheWayFromLondonDAMN · 22/03/2021 22:53

Little Bruce?!

May2021Mummy · 22/03/2021 22:58

I love it

IdblowJonSnow · 22/03/2021 23:00

I like it. Used to know a Bruce who was beautiful.

AlCalavicci · 22/03/2021 23:00

I like it , I know three Bruce's and two Brunos all great guys.

It is or at least was a popular Scottish name , after Robert the Bruce

user1493494961 · 22/03/2021 23:02

He'll be a Brucie bonus.

Topseyt · 22/03/2021 23:05

I like it. I've certainly heard a lot worse suggested on here.

dootsnoot · 22/03/2021 23:08

I like it a lot. It's strong and simple, which I love. It is slightly difficult to imagine a baby Bruce, but it would quickly become 'him'.

babyinthacorner · 22/03/2021 23:10

Just... no.

itsme1978 · 23/03/2021 07:02

Never ask for opinions on a name on here......
This is my sons name and it's difficult to not get upset and angry over some of these horrible replies.......

Cocogreen · 23/03/2021 07:06

@Cheesypea

Was their a Bruce in kath and kim?
No that was Brett!
rainbowstardrops · 23/03/2021 07:22

It's not a name I would choose. Sorry!

ThatsNotTheTeaHunty · 23/03/2021 07:32

Horrid. Reminds me of the fat kid eating cake in Matilda.
