HelpRe: Brooke
in reply to a message by Ludwig
Is it a 20th century invention and nature name? I wondered. I mean, it does seem like that now, but I think it's more clearly a surname-name-turned-firstname. I get zero nature image from Brooke.
It has been "regularly if infrequently" used since the 1920s at least, according to my favorite name dictionary. When I googled I found Roberta Brooke Astor, who went by Brooke and was born 1902 (although she wasn't famous until much later).
I'm challenging all who read this post to find earlier Brookes or Brooks!
