@Scarby9

I agree about avoiding the Berk abbreviation in the UK. It sounds as if you like BK names, not just B names, and surname type names too. So what about: Baker Ryan Barclay Ryan Brinkley Ryan Brenkley Ryan Backley Ryan Bracken Ryan Brackley Ryan Braxton Ryon
Hmm

Brenkley?!!! Brackley?!!!

COME ON 😂😂😂😂😂

Brooke is not to my taste but perfectly fine for a girl.

Berkeley is great..............for a spaniel. Not so much for an actual human child.

Berkley is likely to get shortened to Berk.

Boy or girl? l don't like either name. Do you live abroad? They sound like names that might be more usual in The States or Australia. Sorry, but you did ask for opinions!

Agree, look up Berkeley Hunt for cockney rhyming slang. Not good

ImAncient · 19/01/2021 08:34

Neither.

EdgeOfACoin · 19/01/2021 08:32

Also, not sure if you're in the UK, but if you are I would avoid giving any name that could be shortened to berk...

EdgeOfACoin · 19/01/2021 08:31

Brooke is definitely a girl's name. Ryan definitely is not (unless it is your surname?)

DinosaurDiana · 19/01/2021 08:31

For me Brooke is female and Berkeley male ( but for me it’s a dog’s name - sorry)

Is the name for a boy or girl?
