I don't dislike it.
Do you have any other names in mind ?

I really like it, we have a Brooke in our extended family it really suits her she's independent, intelligent and gorgeous . It's not too common but not too out there.

My daughters Brooke but she's much older and back then no one else had it. If I had a baby now I wouldn't use it. It suits her but I have kind of went off it 🤔

I quite like it! I tend to prefer "stronger" girls names- not into frilly names.
I also really like Briar, Alex, Andie, Lenny (Helen/Helena), Brynn, Spencer, Taylor, Quinn, Bryce, Blythe, Erin,

It's really nice so if you like it use it

I've never really understood why anyone asks for opinions on most names because you'll never find any that everyone likes so why not just please yourself

I've always loved the name Brooke, probably because I know 2 Brookes and they are both lovely.

One of my favourite people is called Brooke. It's a good name.

I know two Brookes, and it feels a bit of its time to me. What are your other options?

It's a good strong name, not common but not weird, and I only know one. It's not something I'd pick myself but if you like it and she suits it then I think it's a good choice.

Congratulations Flowers

It's nice. I personally wouldn't use it but there's nothing wrong with it.

I like it. It's my DD s third name after my mother's maiden name and my other DD has long claimed it as a name for a future child.

It's ok , personally think there are nicer names but it's not awful. I find it a bit abrupt in sound.

It's very American - makes me think of Dance Moms.

I like some American names but I don't really take to Brooke, for some reason, and normally I love nature names.
