Bruce McMillan: Hello, my name is Bruce McMillan. It rhymes with villain. I am told by my family that the beginning part of my name the Mc, as opposed to the Mac, was originally, a Mac. When my grandfather who was Scottish with a Macmillan, married the Irish Sullivan, the family name became McMillan. And, my first name is Bruce, rhymes with the spruce moose truce. I was named on the day I was born. It's not like in Iceland, where we name our babies six weeks to a year after they're born. The reason being, that they always say, how can you name your baby if you don't know it?
