Brooke peaked in 1996, when 6,749 babies got the name.
At least 200,521 babies have been given the name since 1914. Years SSA withheld, because fewer than 5 were born, are skipped rather than drawn as zero. * 2025 is the newest year published and it undercounts: a card application is filed some time after a birth.

Where Brooke is most common
