In over 10 years of working in child care, I have known one young Bruce and one young Patrick. I'm think of them as I'm giving my opinion as it makes both names are quite evenly matched. Little Bruce suited his name but it was a heavy and harsh name for him as a baby which "Brucie" didn't soften all that much. Patrick is already a softer name to start with and little Patrick gets lots of nicknames, my favourite of which is "Patchy".

Patrick is not a name I would use but I definitely prefer it over Bruce. I just find Bruce such an abrupt word whereas Patrick has a bit more to it.
