Help[Opinions] Re: Brooklynn?
in reply to a message by Daniielle
For the life of me I don't understand the appeal of this name, for either sex. It's a borough of NYC, it's way too trendy, and there are too many names for girls ending in -lynn. Why not name your daughter Brooke Lynn and then use another middle name after Lynn if you like it that much?
“The caveman method I abhor, and I do not believe that it is ever successful with the women who is worth having. Who could desire a woman taken by force? Who would gain any pleasure from loving or caressing a woman who did not give in return?"

The appeal lies in the fact that the name is pretty, and im from new york. I dont like the name Brooke, i just think of babbling brook, but adding the lynn and making it the complete name, it turned it to a name that i DO like. and i wont give my child 3 names, besides her last, its a little much in my opinion, and im sorry but i think that boys with this name are..pardon my french, screwed becauses its girly. And who decided it was "way to trendy"? i dont know a single soul besides the little pop star who has a child named Brooklynn, and its a male.

Personally I don't make judgments about whether a name is too trendy or not. But if by trendy one means "rapidly growing in popularity", Brooklyn certainly qualifies. It simply did not exist as a girls' given name until the 1990s. In 2005, there were 5,248 girls named Brooklyn or Brooklynn born in the USA. Since there were only a bit over 4,100 girls given the name in 2004, that's an increase of over 25% in one year, and that rate of increase qualifies it as a name which is not just "trendy", but is actually "booming" at the moment. The reason you don't know anyone with the name is because almost all of them are still under ten years old, but believe me they are there.
