I named my only daughter Brooke Nicole in 1979! And the name Brooke exploded after that year! I first saw the name Brooke on my favorite tea bags box! Brooke Tea Company! And then of course Brooke Shields when I was pregnant with her! So I very much love ? the name! She is now 42 years old and loves her name!

We thought Brooke sounded very feminine, it is easy to spell, and easy for teachers to read.

I came up with her name last minute. I was going to name her Kennzie but I changed it when I saw her. I think the name fits her very well, but she hates it. But she is 12 now so she dislikes everything.

So pretty and girly

I wanted a name inspired by nature but not too eccentric. I also like the ease of spelling it, and that it is fairly recognizable. I was worried about it not having an obvious nick name but nick names always present themselves quickly (we call our daughter Brookie Bug which morphed in to Bugsy) I feel like any name with a foot in nature will never go out of style.
