Help[Opinions] Re: Brooks
in reply to a message by )(
Why has this name torpedoed out of nowhere to be the IT and NOW name of 2021? I mean it is Everywhere. I don't care about it. It doesn't interest me. Why is it suddenly so interesting? I'm going to pray for answers

Maybe, subconsciously, people are dwelling on tolerance/intolerance.
Or, picnicking by a quaint little stream while wearing preppy dark academia style clothing seems like something that could be trending. Brooks seems perfect for that vibe.
Or, it's become the masculine version of Brooklyn.
+ It's apparently been in the US top 1000 for over a century, and even though somehow I've never heard of anyone called it, that's not quite out of nowhere.

What... does this mean in this context?
Ok maybe not nowhere but there's definitely an explosion.

Brook is a verb. Means to tolerate/stand/endure (or not, "brooks no____"). Not very common, but I've heard it used that way more than the nature word noun way. When I combine associations from both words, it's pretty cool actually.
I'm not saying it's a word at the forefront of all Americans' minds, but probably they've at least heard it without realizing before, similar to how people see unrecognizable faces in dreams, so when they do encounter it as a name possibility, it resonates? Idk, why do fad names happen? That's a more fun explanation to me than assuming it's all about Brooks Brothers ads or running shoes or someone famous.
