He will always be Doctor David Bruce Banner, yes.

According to interviews given by Stan Lee, they were not allowed to call him Bruce Banner and had to change it because "Bruce sounded gay."

This is really funny to me, and I don't know why. Do you have links to those interviews?

That part confused me greatly when Bana!Hulk came out, because Nick Nolte's name was David Banner, and I thought they were supposed to be the same guy while Bruce was the Hulk proper from the comics. My father had to extrapolate to great lengths and then we got to argue about it again when Norton and Ruffalo came around.

I heard they had to change it because the actor thought it was "too comic-booky". Hang on. Wikipedia says...

Johnson changed the name of the Hulk's comic book alter ego, Dr. Bruce Banner, to Dr. David Banner for the TV series. This change was made, according to Johnson, because he did not want the series to be perceived as a comic book series, so he wanted to change what he felt was a staple of comic books, and Stan Lee's comics in particular, that major characters frequently had alliterative names.[9] According to Lou Ferrigno, it was also changed because CBS thought the name Bruce sounded "too gay-ish," a rationale that Ferrigno thought was "the most absurd, ridiculous thing I'd ever heard."[10] On the DVD commentary of the pilot, Johnson says that it was a way to honor his son David. "Bruce" ultimately became the TV Banner's middle name, as it had been in the comics. It is visible on Banner's tombstone at the end of the pilot movie, and that footage is shown at the beginning of every episode of the series.

I *remember* that tombstone shot! I always loved it because the guy who played David Banner was soooo good at projecting Dr. Banner's utter aloneness and lonliness. And also because it was right before that cool split screen of the Hulk and David Banner while the voiceover grimly tells us about the "raging spirit that dwells within him."

I am rather confused as to why anyone would think 'Bruce' was a gay-sounding name.
