Brooke
What do you think of Brooke for a girl? Do you like Ariella, Liliana and Brooke for sister or does Brooke stick out? I also thought of the combo Ariella Sofia Brooke or Ariella Sofia Elsa Brooke.Do you know many? I think it never entered the top 20 but to me it seems more common somehow, I hear it quite a bit.Dated or not?Oh and I'm worried that all the little girls named Brooklyn will go by Brooke. WDYT?

In South Africa the word for pants (both trousers and underwear) sounds like Brooke, so it really doesn't seem suitable at all.Ariella and Liliana are both so frilly next to the single-syllable austerity of Brooke that I really don't like the combo; but then I really don't like the names anyway. Arielle and Lilian are easier on ear and eye.

Brooke feels a bit dated to me; I know several who were born in the early 80s.I've never really liked the sound of this name. There's something a little bit harsh about it.

Brooke is nms. Too soap opera like, for me anyway, and it does sound very 80's. And it's pretty popular in Australia, which just turns me off it even more. It's used mainly by middle to lower classes here I think. I love Liliana btw, it's gorgeous! But i prefer the spelling Liljana, either way it's a beautiful name. Sofia Elsa is lovely too.
