Not a name poll, just a yes or no!

tucker1384 · June 2014

The LO is a boy, thinking of naming him Bruin. Like Boston Bruins (not named after them).

No. It looks ok written, but when I say it out loud I don't like it.

angeltennis3 · June 2014

Nope. I can just hear the kids calling him "ruined bruin" or other stupid things kids ca make up. Not a fan.

This exactly...

Emerald27 · June 2014

Sorry, no.

Is it specifically the sports team you love and want to "honor," or do you like the sound? If it's the sound of the name (you know, short boy B name), how about:

Bruno
Brice
Bruce
Brendan
Brody
Bradley
Braden
Blake
Blaise
Brent
Brian
Brin
Burke
etc...

ETA: Brin is the closest I can think of and it's a real name. It's Welsh, means "hill," and ranks at 797 in the United States. The original spelling is Bryn, but I personally prefer the spelling with "i" (which is a legit alternate spelling) because of all the false/added "y"'s around these days.

Awww. I told you I LOVE name posts.

Before this LO, if you asked me to name 5 boy names that started with B, I would have stammered out something like Brian and Brandon...all the name searching has my head FULL of names! Lol

lct2008 · June 2014

No

This is why she's the O14 Mother of the Board. ;;)

PC0909 · June 2014

I love it, but I'm a huge Bruins fan!

narabug · June 2014

No.

archi35 · June 2014

Nope - sorry. I'd also add that I know two different little girls named Bryn so not sure about Brin for a boy either. To me is sounds like someone with a rough accent saying Brian. Just my singular two cents.

MamabytheBeach · June 2014

No; all I hear is Stewie Griffin saying "ruined" and pronouncing it Bru-ween lol

Liss1481 · June 2014

Not a fan, sorry. And even if you wouldn't be naming him after the Boston Bruins, that's what everyone is going to think of. I hate sports and that was the first thing that popped into my mind.

Kendrav4 · June 2014

no

lingalls31 · June 2014

Though I'm a big Bruins fan, I have to vote no because I know someone with a dog named Bruin... so it makes me think of a dog, not a baby boy.

Emerald27 · June 2014

@mrscjmb9410‌ and @archi35‌ behindthename.com lists it as masculine, not unisex. Interesting that they got it wrong!

Sorry, OP. Didn't mean to suggest a girl name for your little boy. $:\$ ">

AppleGrapeMSTK · June 2014

I don't HATE it, but I don't like it, either.

MrsTinMKE · June 2014

No lol

tucker1384 · June 2014

DH is more into it than I am, thanks ladies! I'm pretty sure this little guy won't be named until the day he pops out.

wildflower75 · June 2014

MrsSarahRenee · June 2014

I say yes. But I like it as a nickname and it means bear which I think is cute.

ohioloveyou · June 2014

Not a fan, sorry.

SusieBW · June 2014

Nope. I'm from New England, but I'm a Flyers fan.

DH has pushed pretty hard for Cameron both with DD and now with DS, after Cam Neely. But no. If you're trying to honor the Boston Bruins, maybe consider Cam?

fireflyrebirth · June 2014

I think people would assume you named him after the team.

lrobi13 · June 2014

No, it reminds me of a lake I grew up on and everybody says they are "doin bruin" but it is unique if that is what you are going for.

MrsSinner402 · June 2014

I'm gonna go with "No", for $200, Alex.

Saragoeswest · June 2014

I like it.

mrstorrestobe · June 2014

I don't dislike it but to add another 'B' name sorta same sounding suggestion, what about Brennan? (I'm biased to Brennan)

staryb · June 2014

I don't think I'd hate it as a name if it weren't for the team but I really just can't get passed the sports reference. Maybe it would be different if I was a Bruin's fan but I'm kind of the opposite, sorry.

jenndub · June 2014

I like it, but I like weird names. Also, I'm huge UCLA fan.

asarem93 · June 2014

Not loving it. Sorry =/

octobermama87 · June 2014

Eh, no. Sorry.

ANGnJON · June 2014

No, sorry OP.

vrj0522 · June 2014

I don't know anything about the Boston Bruins but when I first read it I did think of a team mascot. Sorry, my vote is no.

MagentaMouse · June 2014

Lol...there are so many things that rhyme with that. If I were a little kid (the jury's still out on that), I'd probably call him Pooin' Bruin. Sorry for my immaturity.
