As for Brooklyn - what on earth were they doing in that part of New York anyway?  I wouldn't have thought it would be their alley - more like Manhattan!  There was always speculation that they got the area of New York's name wrong and it should have been Manhattan.  Now there's a name - at least Brooklyn could be shortened to Brook and is like a boy's name, but Manhattan??  That would have been really hard.
