Brooklyn Elizabeth Threinen, born on February 29 in Scottsdale, AZ, was the winner of Domino's Pizza's BRKLYN Leap Year contest. The Threinen family was the first to contact Domino's regarding the birth of their Leap Year newborn, Brooklyn and won $1,000 in Domino's pizza gift certificates. "In honor of Domino's BRKLYN (Brooklyn-style pizza), we've been celebrating everything "Brooklyn," including Leap Day newborn, Brooklyn Elizabeth Threinen," said Jenny Fouracre, Domino's Pizza spokesperson. "We created this promotion to honor Leap Year babies and their families whose love of the old neighborhood inspired them to name their children after it."
The Courier Life has more on the contest and apparently Domino's was going to give $1,000 of pizza money to the first Leap Year baby named Brooklyn. That's ok because the name is growing in popularity - even Posh Spice is using it.
Brooklyn may seem like a kooky name for a baby but it's gaining in popularity.Brooklyn sure is a cute baby. It sounds like Brooklyn's parents will be eating plenty of pizza during the first year or two of her life.
Even international soccer phenom David Beckham and his wife Victoria Beckham, aka Posh Spice, named one of their boys after the borough - reportedly because Victoria was in town when she learned she was expecting.
