Normally I would pick the most conventional spelling, but since it is for a girl name, I think a double N feminizes it. </p> <p>Incidentally, I have a friend who just gave birth last week and named her daughter Brooke. She is originally from Brooklyn, which I imagine inspired the name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-of-this-name#post-1011339 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 17:26:16 +0000 travellingbee 1011339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I'm in the minority but my name is spelled wrong nearly every time and I couldn't care less. Only mispronouncing it bothers me. I say do what you want. It isn't a conventional name anyway, so spell it however you like! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-of-this-name#post-1011285 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 16:52:57 +0000 matador84 1011285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm conventional when it comes to spelling...Brooklyn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-of-this-name#post-1011220 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 16:27:53 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1011220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Brooklyn. I think the others would cause her trouble. And TBH I'd probably laugh if I met a Brooke Lynne. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-of-this-name#post-1011186 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 16:17:27 +0000 lovehoneybee 1011186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would either do Brooklyn or Brooke Lynne. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-of-this-name#post-1011172 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 16:06:39 +0000 HabesBabe 1011172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd spell it "correctly" unless you were doing two names (like Mary Anne)-- my husband's cousin is named Brooke-Lynn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-of-this-name#post-1010838 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 14:11:59 +0000 Mrs. J 1010838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: mine is like yours with the "i" and the "t" switched from yours, but my friend is with a "c" and an "i", and I know several other spellings too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-of-this-name#post-1010733 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 13:44:52 +0000 banana 1010733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Brook/Brooke Lynne, too. I'm assuming most of her friends will probably end up calling her Brook/Brooke anyway? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-of-this-name#post-1010679 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 13:27:36 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1010679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do Brooke/Brook Lynne Last name. Two names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-of-this-name#post-1010616 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 13:06:11 +0000 mamimami 1010616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Brooke Lynne. I really like Brooke AND Lynne, and I confess am not a huge fan of Brooklyn as a person's name. But since you like it, I think this has the effect while giving your daughter many options for the future, KWIM? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-of-this-name#post-1010613 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 13:05:29 +0000 MrsTiz 1010613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. J: what is yours?

Super common name spelled just one letter different = guaranteed having to spell out your name for the rest of your life, never getting anything from Disneyland with your name on it, constantly correcting people, etc.</p> <p>Trust me, it's not worth it lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-of-this-name#post-1010581 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 13:01:21 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1010581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: Yeah I was thinking of that too - I actually like the way my mom's middle name is spelled, I feel it's very feminine and classy. Since I like the name Brooke so much I'd be willing to do it like that.</p> <p>@Mrs. J: no one spells my name right either and I totally don't care because I love my name so much and love that I have a "different" name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-of-this-name#post-1010567 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 12:59:33 +0000 Freckles 1010567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with @mediagirl: @mrsjazz:!</p> <p>Prefer Brooklyn. Or i would just split it into two names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-of-this-name#post-1010545 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 12:55:00 +0000 Mrs. J 1010545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Brooklyn, just because of the fact that everyone would spell her name incorrectly. @MrsTiz: and I are great examples of no one knowing how to spell our name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-of-this-name#post-1010540 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 12:53:39 +0000 Sammyfab 1010540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @mediagirl.

Brooklyn. That's how you spell the city name. If you're going to represent it, do it properly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-of-this-name#post-1010526 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 12:50:41 +0000 Torchwood 1010526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I personally would go with Brooklyn, but because of your mom I voted for Brooklynne. So many people are making up spellings these days that I think wanting it to be spelled "right" is becoming less and less of an issue. When there are this many people on the planet, finding a name that's even remotely unique is pretty much impossible, so I say go for the spelling that has meaning for your family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-of-this-name#post-1010523 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 12:49:58 +0000 MrsBrewer 1010523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to be out of the ordinary, and I actually like the 2 separate names way! Given the background (your mom's middle name being Lynne) I really like that way! Plus you said you loved the nn of Brooke, why not just have that as a whole name?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-of-this-name#post-1010522 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 12:49:52 +0000 Foodnerd81 1010522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate having to spell my name so I would go with the way the city is spelled. Love the name and the nn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-of-this-name#post-1010508 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 12:47:29 +0000 autumnlove 1010508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Brooklyn </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-of-this-name#post-1010489 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 12:43:59 +0000 sorrycharlie 1010489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Brooklyn :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-of-this-name#post-1010478 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 12:40:37 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1010478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think spelling Brooklyn like the city is enough of a homage to your middle name. I love the name Brooklyn too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-of-this-name#post-1010475 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 12:40:28 +0000 mrbee 1010475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>100% agree with @mrsjazz: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-of-this-name#post-1010472 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 12:38:56 +0000 mrsjazz 1010472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Brooklyn! </p> <p>If you're going to do one name, I'd use the correct spelling (I may be a little biased since I'm from Brooklyn). I'd only do Lynne if you were doing two separate names, Brook Lynne. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-of-this-name#post-1010455 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 12:35:20 +0000 SupernovaJ 1010455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like brooklyn, unless you want to be super obvious that it's for a female, then i'd go with brooklynn. </p>
