Common Mispronunciations of Brooke
Not BROOK-ee
The final e is silent and adds nothing at all. Brooke and brook are said identically, and the extra letter is only a spelling habit of older English surnames.
Not BROOK (with the oo of food)
Aim for the short pull of good and wool rather than the long oo of moon. The vowel is over almost before it starts.
