Brooke

Had a mixed bag of reaction's irl, what are your opinions

Still not 100% set on it

I'm not a big fan. Could work well though with a long surname. Definitely not if you have a short surname like Smith.

I quite like it. It's a strong name - you wouldn't mess with a Brooke.

I like it!

I think it's dated and quite harsh sounding. I don't like it.

Good as a surname

Is your surname Bond?

It was in our list!!! Love it!

90s Valley girl, to my mind...

Love it. This name was at the top of my list if DS had been a DD. It was a toss up between Brooke or Niamh.

Common 15ish years ago, lots of them In high schools and colleges now. Probably dated

i like it

how about without the e?

I automatically think Brooke Shields.
(Sneaking admiration for her since 2005, when she publicly called out Tom Cruise's idiot mansplaining about PND/ PPD: what's not to love about her/ the name Brooke for that alone?).

Brook, no 'e', is more my preference, simply because of the nature aspect.

Brooke is from the same generation as Tiffany and Kelly. Not old fashioned enough to be back in fashion.

For a boy of girl OP?

I didn't used to like it but a girl I want to school with has a 6 year old Brooke and it really suits her so now I quite like it

For a girl ? If so, yes, I like Brooke.

I like it!

Brooke is from the same generation as Tiffany and Kelly.

Tiffany was common in the late 80's early 90's with the singer

Kelly was very very common in the 70's - there are lots of 40ish Kelly's

Brooke's popularity came much later, late 90's early 00's

However I agree the name is not quite old enough to become cool again

I really like it! It's a lovely name xx

Prefer paige from those sorts of names.

Love it for a boy.
Unfortunately I know a very annoying one that's put me of it, otherwise I'd have used it.

Brooke Shields was in Blue Lagoon in 1980 and I know at least 2 people named after her around that time.

Oh yes of course there have been people called Brooke prior to 2000, but I was talking about it being massively popular, which did come much later

I quite like it. With my surname it sounds like a place name though.

I think of a page 3 model. Was there someone famous like that maybe in the back of my mind? I've no idea, but that's the image that the name conjures up for some reason. Sorry.

I think it's a beautiful name
