I was just thinking of
Brooke lately. I prefer the spelling
Brook I think, because something about
Brooke just seems snotty to me. I don't know any Brookes personally, but the ones I have known of were mostly been older than me (I'm about to turn 19), or at least around the same age. I think it'd be adorable on a little girl. I think it makes a good filler mn (like
Rose,
Marie,
Lynn, etc); but I prefer it as a fn. I like the nature-y look of
Brook over
Brooke. I like
Brooklyn too, that's cute. I'm not too worried about popularity concerning
Brooke or
Brooklyn. As far as I know, the usage of the name hasn't reached overkill yet...you know like
Ava or
Lily.
