Im not keen but he loves it = BRUCE for a boy :0

Honestly, what do you think. Pretty much all your repsonses will probably match mine.

For years the FOB has said if we have a boy can we call him Bruce. He says its such a strong manly name. However, I have never been convinced and if we don't agree then we will just name the baby after him, Lee.

He also jokes around about having his name as a middle name like our daughters have my name in their middle name but 'Bruce Lee'! :0


I think it does suit a man, but a baby Bruce. Not so sure.

[krwh]

oh, i honestly don't know...i kind of like it actually...those older names are more my style though. it's different and he wont be one of 20000 bruce's in his class.

 

[LouLou78]

Ah Little Brucie Cute. Why do I hear an Aussie accent when I say it in my head? lol

 

[Strawberries]

I quite like it actually, it's a strong masculine name for a little boy imo

My hubby wanted to call the baby Bruce as well but when he was born it just didn't suit him i was so relieved as i really didn't want to call my lo Bruce as i went to school with a Bruce who was a right knob. If i hadn't of know another Bruce though i probably would of gone with it as i quite like the name, it is very "manly" only a bloke could come up with that.

 

[krwh]

as long as you don't name him del boy i think you're in the clear

 

[Pink_Tinks]

it reminds me of Nemo... (Please say in correct accent, Australian i think?!) Bruce the friendly shark


Brice could be an option tho?!

 

[bubbles]

I quite like it but if it was me and DH wanted to call him Bruce Lee I would say no, one or the other. Actually it is the sort of thing DH would like (he wanted DS to be called Damien Sanchez Optimus Prime )

Love the Transformers. My other half would love that

In the US, Bruce is such a dated name...and not necessarily in a good way. It brings to mind the 1970's with lots of chest hair and big mustaches. If this hinders it in any way, it's also the name of quite a majority of gay men I've met in their late 40's....so, not so manly in that regard

I just don't love it for a little guy

 

[krwh]

momma2violet...i have to admit (im an american) that it did make me think of that a little bit too...i don't know if i actually know anyone named bruce, but i can definitely understand where you're coming from on that one.

 

[LouLou78]

Thanks guys, I too am American but living in England.

 

[Love Bunny]

Ah Little Brucie Cute. Why do I hear an Aussie accent when I say it in my head? lol

I totally know what you mean! I can just hear "can you gis whut it is yit?" in my head now!!!

Hmmm Bruce... Its a very strong name... Guess it depends who you grow up onto to pull it off?



Its not a bad name though IMO x

 

[Seity]

I think Bruce is a good name.
