I know a Bruce Ryan. That combo seems to flow.

I don't really have any favourite Bruce combos because the name has never really grabbed me as specifically desirable. That said, it isn't bad either... just nmsaa.

Try w/ these (on either side and decide which one's right):
Matthew
Matthias
Malachi
Johanne
Malcolm
Aaron
Raymond
Leopold
Darryl
Gabriel
Jadon
Levi
Ezekiel
Caedmon
Dakota
Isaiah
Elijah
Dominic
Pierre
Zachary

I love Bruce! But I think it's a difficult name to pair with other names. I was actually thinking about Bruce combos the other day and realised that I think Bruce is best on its own. It sounds weird with most names in my opinion. And then I realised that I often like to pair a first name with a middle name with similar sound or letters like Isidore St.Pierre and Emmanuel Aloysius Saul. One of my favorite names is Matteus and I actually think it works pretty well with Bruce. Bruce Matteus or Matteus Bruce. I prefer Matteus Bruce, it's powerful, almost regal yet kind of sweet in a strange way.

I like Bruce because it is kind of a joke. It's so puffed-up and serious when it's just this cute little roly-poly bug of a name that it is funny, and I enjoy that. Also, Batman.

If I had to combo Bruce, I might pair him with something contemporary:

Bruce Logan
Bruce Jacob (I REALLY LIKE THIS)
Bruce Ethan
Bruce Noah
Bruce Gabriel
Bruce Christopher (ohh also nice)

Actually Bruce could make a really spiffy double name, no? Like... Bruce-Michael, that's neat. Bruce-Aaron, Bruce-Henry, Bruce-Daniel.

I love the double name idea. I also love the way you write, Chloe. ;)

Bruce is an interesting case for me. I used to really dislike it because I thought it just sounded so doofy and unattractive. But somehow that doofiness got turned into endearing, and it give me an awesome lumberjack sort of image. So yeah, I kind of like it now.

My favorite combos are:
Bruce Awen
Bruce Fitzroy
Bruce Owen
Bruce Peter
Bruce Rory

and I'd name his brother another woodsy name, like
Alec
Brendan
Conor
Everett
Glenn
Jacob nn Jeb
Nathan
Paul
Richard
Sean
Stewart - ooh I like this best
Warren

What do you think of Bruce Everett?

- Llewella (penguiny7) +4

I don't think it goes together. Everett would be like Bruce's much more quiet, calm brother. Plus Bruce is warm and Everett is cool. But I think they'd complement each other well as siblings.

What are some other names or what should I look for in a name that would compliment Bruce in a name combo?

It depends on how you feel about Bruce! People get different feelings from names, so you might feel totally different than I do. I would pair it with something warm-colored and strong that can put up with it.

What makes a name warm colored? (c;

I have synesthesia, and Br is red-orange (which is a warm color, along with yellow, while blue/green/purples are cool). Some other synesthete might think it was totally the opposite.
