Anybody got a GOOD nickname for and name like Bruno?
I'm writing a story and I like the name, but I don't want that particular name. Any nicknames that sound close?
Replies
It's a short name and used in countries that are not nickname crazy as US/UK so I don't think it has that many nns. The only one I've heard is Brunek, and thst is just a diminutive.

I wasn't sure which direction you were going with this. So these names are kind of all over the place. Please let me know if any of these would work for you. Thanks!
