The name Brooklyn means water or stream. It’s gaining in popularity as of late, climbing from the 177th most popular female baby name in 2000 all the way to the 31st most popular in 2015. Her middle name, Elise, may not be very common, but it has special meaning. The Paines chose Elise because it’s Erin’s middle name too, so mother and daughter now share the same middle name. The name Elise means “oath of God” or “God is satisfaction”.
