Brook carries the sense The small watercourse.
The Chinese name 布鲁可 answers it with 布 (To spread, to lay out) and 鲁 (Simple, plain) and 可 (To be fit, to please) — chosen for sound and sense together, the way a Chinese parent chooses a name rather than the way a wire service transliterates one.
Carved in the Zhongshan King (中山王) bronze-inscription seal script, the name sits on the seal face as a worked square, not a typed line.
The character itself: To spread, to announce, to lay out; also plain cloth, and a people who raised the silk. The character is a hand over a 巾 that also begins 布 and, above, the shoulder of the person. 布政 is to administer, because administration is laying things out where they can be seen — and 宣布, to announce, is the same gesture, a hand moving cloth outward.

The character itself: From the old graph of a mouth opened wide with a bar across it, the ax in the frame: the pictograph of kou, a person striking, before the graph was a word for 可. The meaning settled on the modern sense — can, may, acceptable — which is why 许可 is permission and 可靠 is worth relying on. Full 可 page →
Three characters: a full classical face for a name that is only water going somewhere.
Brook is written 布鲁可 in Mandarin (bù lǔ kě) — one character for the surname 布 and two for the given name. The characters are chosen to carry the sound and the sense of Brook rather than to transliterate it letter by letter, which is how Chinese names are actually made. On this page the seal is carved in the Zhongshan King (中山王) bronze-inscription seal script, with the Academia Sinica Chongxi Small Seal (崇羲篆體) filling any character the main font lacks.
布鲁可 breaks down as 布 (bù) — To spread, to lay out — water's patient work made a sound; 鲁 (lǔ) — Simple, plain — the rude honest land of Lu, Confucius' own home; 鱼 over 日, fish in the season; 可 (kě) — To be fit, to please — the quiet yes the water earns from the bank. The seal note we would put under it: Three characters: a full classical face for a name that is only water going somewhere.
Pinyin: bù lǔ kě — 布 is tone 4 (a sharp fall, like a full stop); 鲁 is tone 3 (a dip down and back up); 可 is tone 3 (a dip down and back up). Mandarin has four tones plus a neutral tone, and getting them wrong is the most common mistake Western speakers make with Chinese names — the seal itself is unaffected, since the carving is of the written form.
Because names in Chinese are chosen, not inherited by sound. 可 (kě) reads to be fit, to please — the quiet yes the water earns from the bank — and its own history runs: From the old graph of a mouth opened wide with a bar across it, the ax in the frame: the pictograph of kou, a person striking, before the graph was a word for 可. The meaning settled on the modern sense — can, may, acceptable — which is why 许可 is permission and 可靠 is worth relying on.

A Chinese seal (印, yìn) is the 3,000-year-old answer to the signature: a carved stamp, classically in red cinnabar ink, pressed onto documents, paintings and letters. A name seal carries your name in seal script (篆書) — the calligraphic style of the Qin dynasty. Traditionally two kinds: 朱文 (characters in red) and 白文 (characters in white, carved out of a solid red field).
