It's my first name and I quite like it. I've met/known of maybe 5 other Brookes, ranging from around my age (20) to 13/14. This is in New Zealand though, it's probably more popular elsewhere. I don't know if it's dated here, since it seems to have caught on a little later over here than elsewhere. Even for me, an 'American
Brooke' is different from a 'NZ
Brooke'. A
Brooke in the media is usually a mean and/or ditzy cheerleader type.
