X2 go for it!

I wouldn't use it personally, but I like it. It won't be very trendy right now because it's a 50s/60s generation name (like Nancy, Linda, etc. for women).

I'm not a fan of the name Bruce. Sorry, OP.

My little brother is named Bruce. He is not gay. I have never met a gay Bruce. He was a cutie little boy, too. Brucie! I do like it.

exactly why it is such a bad idea to name your children babyish names because they will grow up. Sorry to offend, but what comes to mind for me is:

Riley
Carter
Bailey

Those names are so soft for a man. Maybe all men will be fully emasculated in the next 20 years so it might not matter, but for me a wimpy name is not a very good choice.

Bruce is a great name and your son might turn out to be a complete bad ass. There is nothing more sexy than a bad add Bruce.

The gay comment...wierd. How is a name gay? Only time it is gay is when a Christopher chooses to call himself Chrissy or something like that.

Do it! Bruce is a great name. Bonus points if your last name is Banner or Lee.

Conventional wisdom says that Bruce is a gay name (not that there's anything wrong with that... rock on!).

If that gives you pause, I wouldn't use it. But if not, go for it! It's your decision anyway. Screw 'em all.

Ehhhh, not my fave...but you do what you like and everyone will love baby Bruce. My brother often jokes that he dodged a bullet bc my parents were deciding between Randy and Ryan, they chose Ryan. Feel like Bruce could be a Randy.

I love it -- we would've used it but there was a Brice born in our family around the same time.

I know someone who named her baby Bruce. I never would have thought of it, but I love it! Definitely a strong name.

Me gusta mucho.

It's a family name, and I want to use it for sentimental reasons. Any unbiased opinions out there want to give me the thumbs up or down? The original Bruce who the baby would be named after was not a fan of his own name, which is giving me pause....I feel like it's a nice, strong name though.
