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?

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.
