Bruce

Bruce Addison: I know that some people think of Bruce as sounding like a wimpy name but to me it sounds very strong and masculine because of Bruce Lee and Bruce Willis. I picked Addison for the middle name because Addison was the last name of the character that Bruce Willis played in the 80's TV show Moonlighting.

Bruce was originally a Scottish surname coming from the Norman French place name Brix. As a surname it was brought by Robert the Bruce, a 14th century Scottish hero who defeated the British in place of the martyred hero William Wallace. Its early use as a first name probably was to honor him.
