Help[Opinions] Re: Brooklyn?
in reply to a message by Bex
I have a male cousin named Brook so I've always seen it as male too.
I think Brooklyn is usually thought of as feminine because of the trendy "lyn" ending. Most names that end in "lyn" are feminine, and plenty of parents believe that throwing "yn" on the end of name that ends in "in" or "on" will make it feminine. But, like Evelyn, I think Brooklyn can be used as a male name. I don't really like it on either gender.
