[Opinions] Brook

What do you think of Brook for a boy? I really dislike it for a girl (Brooke, Brook, doesn't matter); I knew plenty of them growing up and it feels a bit oudtated. Lately though I've been considering it for a boy. Is it better as a middle name maybe?Thanks!

Brook/Brooke is all feminine to me and I really don't like it for a boy. It gets used for girls way more often these days, so I definitely wouldn't use it for a fn for a boy.

I 've known a few girls Brook. Unisex names are too confusing to use, in my opinion.

I don't care for Brook on a boy simply because I think the sheer number of female Brookes would make it difficult to grow up with. I love Brooks for a boy, though. Brooks is my new SIL's maiden name, and their #1 choice for a boy.

I prefer Brooke, but if it's on a boy any spelling is fine. I despise it on a girl.Brook Leith

DittoI have a coworker named Brooks, and it has grown on me. I do think Brook sounds feminine, though.

I love Brook on a boy by itself and as a nn for Brooklyn [m]it's so underused it doesn't even sound feminine to me at all.Though I do like Brooks for a girl.

Brook for a boy? No, I can't see it on a boy. And, I prefer Brooke and for a girl.
