Help[Opinions] Bruno?
While rambling on to myself in Egyptian Princess's last thread, I realized that I like Bruno. I used to think of it as a dog's name first, but now that I think about it, it could be rather handsome on a guy.
Wdyt? Do Bruno Sebastian, Bruno Augustin, or Bruno Benedict work? Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance. :)

I quite like it. I once had a dream that I had a baby named Bruiser. When I woke up, I tried to think of a full name for it and that's what I came up with, so it's always had a very sweet association for me.

Handsome, indeed.
I had a hard time seeing it on a real person at first, but now I know a Bruno IRL. (He's a Brazilian exchange student from my school, as it were. See response title.)
I do think, though, that Bruno needs a "tamer" (for lack of a better word) MN to balance it out. Unless, of course, that's not your style; I personally prefer my own names that way, but I realize that your mileage may vary. ;-)
Sebastian, Augustin, and Benedict all work fairly well, in any case, though Bruno Augustin's flow is a little off to my ears (but maybe I'm biased-- I *want* to like Augustin a lot, but it does nothing for me on its own at the moment). I like how Bruno and Augustin complement each other, style-wise, though. Bruno Sebastian works in a similar way, but I think I'm personally developing an aversion to Sebastian. Bruno Benedict is nearly perfect, especially in this regard, but I'm always nervous about the Benedict Arnold association. =/ I think it could fly in the MN spot, though.
I wish I had some suggestions, but I'm always terrible at offering my own ideas, and I should be in bed right now, anyways. I'll aim to come back and give it a shot later, though, K?
Good luck!

I tend to think that Bruno really only works on a very large, beefy, silent Italian man. I just can't picture a little boy, or a blond, or a quiet small shy person with the name.

It's okay, I doubt my kids will be blonde or shy or not Italian anyway. :D
