First name Bruce?
The boy's first name is actually his mum's maiden name, which was also a fairly normal first name.
My dads Bob, I'm Rob.
I'm Alan, my dad was Alan, his dad was Alan, and I spent much of my formative years with my Uncle Allan. To avoid confusion(!), we were Big Allan, Little Alan, Young Alan, Old Alan.
So you're now known as Bass?

hah..
I know of a family where all the sons and the father are called David.. the one i know was referred to by his middle name, Alun 🙂
We have traced my family tree a long way back. Until a couple of generations ago they were quite poor folk and this seems to manifest in a shortage of names. All the men were called Henry and all the women Martha. All of them over many generations
Am the only one who gets peeved when uninformed parents give their children shortened names as their full name. My nephew is Jack. That's a bloody nickname FFS! Anther family member has Betty and Harry as names. idiots.
As for shortening names. if its objected to then its a no no for me. Manners cost nothing.
