Help[Opinions] Re: Brooks
in reply to a message by Pelops
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.
