From Wikipedia
In Pythagorean numerology, every letter has a value from 1 to 9. Adding the letters of Brooklyn yields these three numbers — a playful read on the name's character.
Brooklyn is down 64% in ten years, from 7,178 births and rank 21 in 2011 to 2,487 at rank 108. Place-names age quickly, and this one had an unusually sharp arc: the record starting in 1972 and running to 124,665 births, essentially all of them between 1995 and 2015. One bearer is listed, the model Brooklyn Decker, born 1987. Absent from the file, though far more likely to have mattered, is David and Victoria Beckham's eldest son, born 1999 and named for the borough — the timing lines up with the American rise considerably better than Decker does. Names taken from cities carry a specific decade's taste in a way that inherited names do not, and Brooklyn is now firmly stamped with the 2000s.
