[Opinions] Re: Brooks
in reply to a message by )(
It sounds okay, but I prefer Brook/Brooke because it sounds softer. I don't mind nature names. It sounds like a plural/possessive noun, so that might be confusing in conversations.
But I don't think its a big deal. I believe that people don't usually say the word 'brook' unless they're interested in nature. Everyone says river or lake though, out of habit, especially for location names. (Lake Erie, Lake Ontario; Amazon River, Indus River, etc.)
Its a good nickname for Brook, too. It sounds manly. I prefer it to Brookie, which is usually given to girls named Brooke. I don't like the -ookie in the name. I think it sounds rough.
All in all, 7/10.
