We named our son this. He’s 4 now. Randomly chosen from a name website. Most people seem to really love it and a few hate it. But very few seem to not have a strong opinion about it. We usually call him Bookie but will probably go back to Booker when he’s older.
I agree with the person that said they were surprised this wasn't in the top 1000. Surnames as first names are so trendy right now, even for girls(awful). I don't think this name is that bad honestly, and a little boy named Booker would certainly stand out from the crowds of Masons, Madisons, and Tylers.
It's a very old-fashioned name, and it rhymes with 'hooker'. Some people would pronounce it as ''BOO-kah'', which would be absolutely atrocious. It's not a nice-sounding name anyway.
Hilarious!
