I love Brooke on a girl, I think most people (at least kids) will see it as a girl's name. Brooklyn is better for a boy, but I probably wouldn't use it

I agree with Brooks, which I like a lot

I've met one Brooks, and he was HOT and smart and atheletic. One of those full packages. Yeah, I only have good thoughts for the name now.

yes please use this on your son [m]

I ADORE Brook for a boy! Everyone tells me it's so girly, but I see it as unisex, I much prefer for a boy. I would love to see a boy Brook. My future son [well one of them] will probably be named Brooklyn nn Brook(s).

I agree with the suggestion of Brooks. To me, Brooks is masculine, but Brook ( with either spelling) makes me think of a girl.

I think that Brook (that is the spelling that I would use) is fine for a boy. As for my personal opinion, I like the name but it's not a big favorite of mine.

I'm sorry, I dislike Brooke on either sex.

nt.

I have a great uncle named Brooke (not sure whether it was spelt with an e or not), so I definitely think it could be used on a boy.
How about:
Brook Michael
Brook Alexander
Brook William

I know a little boy named Brooklyn. I think that Brook is a cute name for either gender. I also love Brooks for a boy!

I love names with water meanings, and even though this wouldnt be my first pick for a boy, I wouldnt say "what were his parents thinking?!" if I met someone with this name.

I would definitely spell it Brook for a boy. No "e".

Also, an option that might eliminate the feminine association is to use the name Brooks instead. That is traditionally only used for boys. In fact, I've met a guy with this name.
