How popular?

in Baby Names

DH really loves the name Brooklyn, and I love Brooke but think Brooklyn is waaay too common (and he hates Brooke, so I won't get it anyways!)..Whatdyathink?

Wouldn't it be easier to name the baby without DH?  ;)

    I love Brooke. I think Brooklyn is ugly and trendy. I don't know how trendy Brooke is, it doesn't strike me as overly popular.

    All DHs should be bound and gagged until the baby is named. :-)

    I like Brooke. Brooklyn isn't really popular, it's just trendy.

    Brooke is pretty, Brooklyn seems trendy and I don't like it.

    YES!  It would be so much easier to name the LO w/o DH.  I like Brooklyn even if it is becoming popular.  But, we already have a son named Breckin and I'm just not going to do that to myself...

    It's ranked 47 for popularity nationally - but then it's not in the top 100 for most east coast states (too close to the actual borough, I guess).  It's number 7 in Utah. 

    It's a good example of a name with a popularity that varies dramatically by region.

    i really like brooklyn, with brooke as a nn.  i also like brooke alone.  as far as popularity goes, i tend not to really care.  even the most popular name these days is only about 1% of the population.  popular names now aren't really the "heathers and jennifers" of our day.
