Lua error in Module:names at line 629: dot= and nodot= are no longer supported in Template:surname because a trailing period is no longer added by default; if you want it, add it explicitly after the template, a variant of Brook, or originally a nickname for someone thought to resemble a badger (Middle English broc(k)).

    • 1949 Mazo de la Roche, Mary Wakefield, Dundurn Press (2009), →ISBN, page 132:

The Battle of Queenston Heights, where we defeated the Americans." Her puzzled expression showed that she had not heard of the occasion. Young Busby was shocked.
