Re: Brooklyn?
in reply to a message by Bex
I'm sure people are mentioning the Beckhams' son, whose name is Brooklyn, but that's honestly the only male Brooklyn I've ever heard of.
I personally dislike it a lot on either gender. To me, it's a city, or just a "kre8tiv" name with Brooke + Lynn combined (and I dislike those names separately anyway :b).
However, I kind of like Brook and Brooks on a boy, though I'd be afraid he'd get teased. I knew a little boy whose mn was Brooks (fn Kristian) and also a little girl named Brooks. I've I had to pick, though, I prefer it on a boy, for sure. (But not Brooklyn!)
