Maxine,
Both BRING and BJUR was rather common military name. The name was connected to the settlement and a man who had the name Bring at one place, could be named Bjur if he moved to another. After he left the services, the soldier had the right to keep the name. This boys had usually common name, patronymicon, the father's first given name ended with -sson. Therefore the military wanted to give them specific names so they easily could separate them. Often they used the same name as used by the person before at the same place. Sometimes the name was a military term, sometimes it was a name inspired of the name of the settlement. If it was called Liden (the place in on the hillside), the soldier could be called Lidman or Lidberg.
