Keith, Kevin, Kenneth, Michael, Araon, Alexander, Mark, Jonas, Jake, David, Andrew, Christopher....for boys...I like all of those names a lot...
My grand-daughter's name is Brooke. It seems to fit her very well. It has a certain strength to it and it's cute, I think. My son used to call her Brookie Cookie, even before she was born. Elise is her middle name. Now I just love that and it goes well and softens 'Brooke'.
Celeste, Monica, Julia, Rebecca, Lisa, are interesting names and sound pretty to me....

I know it. That is exactly what I thought of right off the bat, when they told me it would be her middle name. Also, I really secretly wanted to call her that and not Brooke; however, 'Brooke' has now grown on me and I like it. She seems to fit the name. She is my sweet little Brooke Elise.Quote:

This is my source (I am a name freaky :p): http://www.behindthename.com/name/brookeQuote:

When I was a kid, I would have wanted to be "Emilia" (it's the Finnish form of "Emily"). Nowadays I'm quite happy being an Anna, even if it's one of the most common names there is (especially combined with my second name "Maria", which is the most popular female name in Finland :p).
I found out recently that I was almost a Greer. How cool would that be? I'd love to be Greer.
Janine, I really liked the name Jonas--until a certain pop band came around. :(
CHLOEQuote:

Means "green shoot" in Greek. This was an epithet of the Greek goddess Demeter. As an English name, Chloe has been in use since the Protestant Reformation.
In Spanish "Emilia" is very popular too, and we have legions of ladies called "Ana María" (both names are very much used, either separated or together).

Usage: Scottish, English (Rare)
From a Scottish surname which was derived from the given name GREGOR, which is the German, Scottish and Slovene form of GREGORY, which in turn comes from Latin Gregorius, which was from the late Greek name Γρηγοριος (Gregorios), derived from γρηγορος (gregoros) meaning "watchful, alert".
Janine, Brooke with an "e" at the end is a small flow of water like a stream.
Brooke Elise, such a beautiful sounding name! I think with first and second names it is important that they sound well together, and this just sounds perfect!
Nikki :D Rather anticlimactic!Quote:
