Help[Opinions] Re: Brooke
in reply to a message by mirfak
To me it just feels timeless. Maybe because it's also a word, I don't know. I just don't think it will ever really feel dated. I don't think a name has to be very old to feel timeless. Juliet isn't that old (at least not nearly as old as Elizabeth) but feels timeless to me, same with Olivia and Miranda.
I think it was used before 1902, but very rarely and mostly on guys (spelled Brook). Just a guess, I don't know how I could find them.
Alexandra never made the top 1000 before 1914. I always thought that was weird. I wasn't commonly used in the US until the early 1980s. But I guess it was popular in England before and of course there are historic figures named Alexandra.
