Brooks or Graham?

Mommytwoboys · February 2013

Trying to decide if either of these are right for us. Our second boy, first is Mason. Would love some opinions and also middle name suggestions.

I like Graham. Brooks is too close to Brooke and Brooklyn.

CelticWife · February 2013

I love Graham.

Graham. I know Brooks is all boy but it sounds feminine to me.

I work with a Brooks and it's the first person I know with this name. It sounds plural for something...I don't know, but I stumble over it. I prefer Brock instead. Love Graham. Work with one of those too.

I like Brooks but not in a sibset with Mason. I prefer Graham in this case.

Graham is way better. Brooks is my running shoes and for bad country music.

Thanks for the opinions, I didn't realize Brooks was so disliked. Friends and family seem to like it, but maybe they are just being nice! Thanks again. Leaning toward Graham but still not positive.

Graham isn't really my style, but I do not like Brooks one bit! So definitely Graham.

I love Brooks and I really like Graham. Graham is a lot more common so maybe that is why I would vote for Brooks, but I go think Graham and Mason go together a little better.

Another vote for Graham

It's weird, the only Brooks I know is a woman. I think it's a family name. Strange how Brook is considered feminine but you add one little s...anyway, I prefer Graham for a boy.
