Like it or hate it?  

As a boy name obviously...

other kids are Olivia, Jack and Ellee

I love it.  Good sibset, too.

Although, if you're not opposed to calling a child by his middle name, I think Christopher Brooks flows better. 

MarSamWhitney

I agree, it flows nicely with the other sibs.

Love it.  It is a definite contender for us for #3.  I like the flow of Brooks Lee best. I've been seeing it posted on here quite a bit lately, but I don't think it's about to get super popular anytime soon (I hope not anyways).

Hate it, sorry.

Great name! I like Brooks Christopher better.

I hate Brooks for a boy.

The only Brooks I know is a girl, so it's not obviously a boy's name to me, but that's probably pretty unusual.  It's okay.  It sounds extremely WASPy to me but if that's the sound you're going for, that's fine.

Love Brooks. I can't use it myself, but I think it's great. I can't imagine a girl named Brooks. It doesn't sound WASPy to me at all. It has a western feel to me.

:shrug:  You'd imagine it if you met her.  She's in her 20s.  I assume it's a family name.  I don't see why Brook/Brooke are obviously feminine names but Brooks is unimaginable on a girl, especially when so many names are unisex these days.

I also know a girls named Aiden, Maddox, and Ryan. Not girls names, they're boy names on girls. I guess the same principle applies to me with this name.

Love Brooks, I prefer Christopher as the middle.

I agree with pp, I like Christopher Brooks better.

I don't like Brooks. Feels a bit pretentious.

Love it!

Really dislike it. I picture an English butler for some reason. "Fetch me a cocktail, Brooks."

MySallyGirl

I love the name Brooks - sounds manly.  I like Brooks Lee better.

Brooks is nms. Although, if I had to pick I would go with Brooks Christopher.

I'm lurking over here, but I have a friend who is going to name her son Broox.  I had to throw that in the mix over here.  Poor kid.

This.  I've only known female Brooks', so I associate it as a girls name.  I didn't even realize it was a boys name.
