If you like it then go for it.
Congratulations on your new arrival.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 21/04/2017 14:04

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

Ellieboolou27 · 21/04/2017 14:07

I like it, strong but not too out there.

floatingfrog · 21/04/2017 14:11

I don't like it sorry.
Congratulations! Choose what YOU like not what we think. Smile

plutohasfeelingstoo · 21/04/2017 14:15

I like it Smile congratulations !

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.

GotToGetMyFingerOut · 21/04/2017 14:22

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 🤔

porterwine · 21/04/2017 14:32

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,

Thatextrainch · 21/04/2017 15:33

I like it

NoYouDontKnowItAll · 21/04/2017 15:35

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.

Nellooo · 21/04/2017 16:43

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?

Jooni · 21/04/2017 18:38

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

Beebeeeight · 21/04/2017 18:43

I really like it.

But I chose not to use it.

catsarenice · 21/04/2017 18:46

Love it. Do it. Wink

kittybiscuits · 21/04/2017 18:47

It's a great name. Congratulations Flowers

FeedTheSharkAndItWIllBite · 21/04/2017 19:47

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

Growuphelen · 21/04/2017 22:16

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.

Dontrocktheboat · 21/04/2017 22:19

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

Lovethebubbles · 21/04/2017 22:20

Love it!

Pinkandwhiteblossoms · 21/04/2017 22:22

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.

TenThousandSpoons · 21/04/2017 22:33

It's fine.

Dozer · 21/04/2017 22:36

very American: one tree hill.
