We concieved our first baby in Brooklyn (we had just had our offer accepted on the house here when I found out I was pregnant. I threw up all through the closing).
If B.C. had been a little girl, we were going to name her Brooklyn, in honor of our time there and her start.
Given that forty-seven of the trashy mothers on Toddlers and Tiaras named their daughters Brooklyn (even though they live nowhere near the borough), it makes me question why I thought that was such a great name.
The spellings are just heaven, too:
Brookline
Brooklyne
Brooklaine
Good times.

Isn't funny how you NEVER meet little girls named Brooklyn in Brooklyn? And I'm guessing no Bronxes in the Bronx either (or born to anyone who has ever been to the Bronx!)
I think abandoning that name was a good call, even though your motivation for choosing it was very sweet.
