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?

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.
