go by Kayla Brooke or Brooke or even KB

Answer 2

I like your name and middle name and I don't think they are too popular.

Answer 3

I like the name Brooke 4 u!

You look like a girl named Brooke

You could also be called Kayla

Answer 4

You should choose a nick-name, for example: if you like flowers you could be called rose or lilly or something.... or maybe you could be called lala or just K.

Answer 5

I understand where you are coming from. Growing up, there were so many girls with my name. My sister had the same problem. In fact, we each have really good friends who share the same name. You will eventually get over it and accept your name for what it is.

To answer your questions: Is your name too popular? I don't think so. I think people have always had this problem. 200 years ago, every other person was named John or Mary. Now they are all named Jason and Kayla. You could choose to go by a nickname... even going by Kaylie would help make you stand out a little. You are still going to have to register for school and apply for jobs using your full name, but for day to day use, a nickname might make you more comfortable.

The hyphens some people include in their name are entirely optional. Some people run the whole name together (like Annemarie Lynn Jones) some people use hyphens (Anne-Marie Lynn Jones) and some people allow the names to stand on their own (Anne Marie Lynn Jones). Some paperwork and computer programs don't allow for spaces or hyphens in names, and sometimes people get confused and only use the first part of the first name. Some people also have hyphenated last names (Jones-Smith)

Answer 6

The Social Security Administration rates Kayla as the 20th most popular name of the decade while it rates Brooke as the 46th most popular name.

Kayla means "purity" in Greek, but it also means "banana" in Hindu.  Brooke refers to a brook or stream.  Perhaps you could tell everyone you're the "top banana"?
