[Facts] Laken
Can anyone tell me about the girl name Laken? Also, can Brooklyn be used for a boy?

Silver's right - Laken is just the word Lake with a -n on the end - for some reason people feel that this turns it into a name! And it's only used for girls, and as far as I know only in the USA so far.
Brooklyn, unless I'm very far wrong, has been used for a celeb. little boy in England: the captain of their World Cup football team is David Beckham, and he married a bird called Victoria Someone who used to be a pop singer with the Spice Girls. So they're the #1 glamour couple on the offshore islands, and when they had a son a year or so back, they named him Brooklyn for some reason - it was where they met or where he was conceived (!) or something. But it doesn't seem to have started a trend, mercifully. (Where I live, broek means pants of all kinds, so I don't expect it to catch on here ...)

wow im surprised that name isnt in here, i see it all the time
from what ive seen its just from the english word 'lake'
and as for Brooklyn... well 'lyn' is a very female suffix, i dont think its in too many male names, if any
but i think the name itself can sound masculin, and any name has the ability to be used for either sex~Silver (SD)
