Help[Opinions] because [m]
in reply to a message by lac
someone in my family has a son (or will soon) named Brooks. I never found it's appeal as a full FN. I like it as a nn only, I do plan on calling Brooklyn, Brooks or Brook as a nn.
ETA: my sister as well hates it on a boy, but oh well. I think it's because she likes Brooke for a girl.
I used to love it on a girl only, until it because overly popular on a girl. It's rarely used for boys, which IMO makes it nicer.
I admit it does sound slightly feminine, however both Brook, and Lynn were originally male so it doesn't bother me. I have masculine names I'd use for my daugthers (ex: Bryce), so I don't think Brooklyn would be to bad off having a more feminine name.
I wasn't trying to change your opinions, I was just giving insight on my I chose them.
