I know of a woman with this name, spelled this way. It’s kind of nice but for a girl I really think it needs the “e” on the end. I love it with the “e” but not so sure without.

Brook from One Piece (it's a great name).

Only attractive on a male. Agree with Janessa2542. If thinking of Brook as a female name, then it does look incomplete because Brook is MALE. The female equivalent is Brooke. Another male option is Brooks.

It just looks so incomplete.

I love this spelling as a masculine variant. Brooke (as a feminine name) always had a masculine sound to me anyway. I really like Brook for a boy, though.

I don't like this name, I think it's really unoriginal.

There is not one, but two meanings to the names Brook and Brooke. The first is listed, while the second is to mean 'beautiful pool of tears.'
Long before the medieval times the brook was thought to be a significantly smaller body of water than we do now, comparable to what we now refer to as a puddle.
Because of their size, it was often fabled that tears had caused these water spots to come about. Though, since their size was obviously much too big for mere tears to cause this, it was said that angels brought them about as they watched over the world in the clouds; thus creating their beauty. Henceforth the meaning, 'beautiful pool of tears', was brought about for a brook as well as both names Brook and Brooke.
As time passed brooks were considered to be larger bodies of water, as we see them today. The names were then used to recognize one who lived next to the stream-like body of water instead of the meaning of the pool itself, though many prefer to use this meaning today.

My Mom's friend's son's girlfriend's older brother is named Brook and he is also the same Brook that was on the CBS TV show Survivor two years ago. And yes, I am being serious.

Brook does not sound like a feminine name. It's a nice name for a boy but not a girl.
