Do you think the name Brooklyn for a girl is ghetto?

My friend lives in L.A. but is originally from Brooklyn %26amp; wants to name her daughter Brooklyn, but it reminds me of the brooklyn ghetto, do you like the name?


i do give her points though because it is not a trendy name like ashley or emily, etc..

Do you think the name Brooklyn for a girl is ghetto?
Brooklyn is a little harsh, how about suggesting the name Brooke to


her instead?
Reply:Brooklyn is a lot trendier than Ashley and Emily. At least Emily and Ashley have been used as names for a few centuries, not just since the Beckhams gave the name to their kid.





Honestly, after living in Brooklyn for 5 years, I can tell you it's not the type of place you'd want to name a pretty little girl after. It's not all ghetto by any means, but it isn't a beautiful historic city like Savannah or Paris.





Brooke is pretty
Reply:No its not ghetto, but a lot of people are starting to name their kids that, so its starting to get beg.





Emily and Ashley are not to trendy, but Ashley is very commen.





Why are people giving thumbs down, I think some people just go around giving thumbs down just to be assholes, how pathetic.
Reply:I Like Brooklyn.





Like you said, it's not to trendy and I think it is pretty. Personally, it doesn't make me think of the ghetto, it sounds Like Brooke and Lynn, and I think it is cool that the name has meaning since the mom is from Brooklyn=]
Reply:I definitely don't live in the ghetto, and I know 2 girls and 1 boy named Brooklyn(n), and they all really like their names. I also really enjoy the name, and forget how it sounds if you like it do it! :)
Reply:I second the name "Brooke." Brooklyn can get a bad rap at times, and any time Brooklyn is in the news, that child is not going to want to be mocked at recess.
Reply:Brooklyn is not a bad name, My niece's name is Brooklyn and its very cute.





I dont hear it much.





and ashley and emily those names are played out. they are wayyy to common she should try something new like Talina hhaa
Reply:I think it's tacky to name a child after a place... like Paris, London, Brooklyn, Milan etc.





I do recommend the name Brooke though.
Reply:Brooklyn is better than Bronx as a name, but it is still not a person's name. It is popular though.
Reply:Well I've heard Brooke and Brocklyn before but never Brooklyn as a name. Personally I kinda like it. %26lt;3 Congrats to your friend.
Reply:I like Brooklyn and I think that your friend has a good reason behind the name.
Reply:I think it's very pretty.
Reply:no, I know a cheerleader, white ***** too her name is brooklyn.
Reply:I love the name.
Reply:I like it
Reply:the name is really cute and you don't here it too often.
Reply:No I think that it is a really nice name for a girl
Reply:The names Ashley or Emily are NOT trendy. LOL they are the opposite of trendy!





Brooklyn however would be a trendy name since it's not common. People are naming their kids after cities, towns, countries, etc and that is trendy, b/c it's the current trend.





I don't think it's a ghetto name at all. Brooklyn is not all ghetto. I'm assuming you've never been to a real ghetto?!





Don't judge your friend, be happy for her and welcome little Brooklyn into the world!!
