    Ngl, I find some of these Hella cute. But I’m also someone who loves creative/unique names (to a point). I don’t like offensive/obvious sponsorship/stupid joke names (the infamous “Ladasha” spelled “La-A” or “Absidy” spelled “ABCDE”)

    But I think Rocklyn and Brexleigh are adorable names for little girls! I’d probably spell it Brexley though.

    Then again, when I was growing up I liked the name "Huxley’ as a gender-neutral name for a future child, so, do with that what you will

      Rocklyn sounds too much like Brooklyn (which some people also name their kids unfortunately) and Brexley sounds like Brexit.

        Rocklin is also a popular neighborhood in Oakland

          For one thing, it means “broken land.”

            Huh. I didn’t know Brooklyn meant that. 5 year old me was definitely a fan of naming my Barbies “Brook”, so I’ve suffered a lack of taste since the beginning it seems 😂

            /“marshland”, which would give a whole new relevance to getting “swampy”.

        Haha bruh that’s aight. I’m actually a treasure trove of traits to make fun of!

        Fortunately I’m child-free so no human ever has to bear the weight of my creative naming conventions…only my D&D/RP/Video Game characters have to suffer.

      ok so uh, how the fuck do you pronounce the one with the X though? breckslee, or braelee.

      Rocklyn is in a similar vein imo. Although in that case, they’re both concoctions of what are individually bad names. Brayden, and haley. Rebecca, and whatever the fuck else terrible name you wanna pick.
