For those of us who love the show [name_f]Brooklyn[/name_f] 99, what would you name [name_m]Jake[/name_m] Peralta’s and [name_f]Amy[/name_f] Santiago’s second baby?
[name_f][/name_f]
A little refresher:
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]- Their first baby is McClane “Mac” (b), named after [name_m]John[/name_m] McClane from Die Hard (Jake’s favourite movie)
[name_f][/name_f]- They previously liked the name [name_m]Atlas[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f]- [name_m]Andre[/name_m] Braugher, the actor of [name_m]Captain[/name_m] [name_m]Raymond[/name_m] [name_m]Holt[/name_m], passed away in 2023. Presumably his character has also passed away.

I only have ideas for a girl, so I’m curious to see what potential names are for a boy!
[name_f][/name_f]
my ideas:
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Minnie[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- they both like [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Bronte[/name_f] (g) [name_f][/name_f]- considering [name_m]Mac[/name_m] is named after one of Jake’s interests, I think it’d be fitting if baby #2[name_f][/name_f] would be after one of Amy’s interests
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Billie[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- similar meaning to [name_m]Raymond[/name_m]
I really like [name_f]Billie[/name_f] for them! im not sure if they’d be the type to really dig into meanings though… actually, I could totally see [name_f]Amy[/name_f] getting into meanings, but I don’t know if [name_m]Jake[/name_m] would see meanings as being close enough to truly honor someone [name_f][/name_f]— however, I love [name_f]Billie[/name_f] in reference to [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m], going off of your [name_f]Bronte[/name_f] example!
[name_f][/name_f]
I also have to imagine Charles’ response if they ever used [name_m]Charlie[/name_m] (boy or girl) 
[name_f][/name_f]
I could see [name_f]Amy[/name_f] wanting to have a strong female namesake for a daughter! maybe…
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Maya[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Maya[/name_f] [name_f]Angelou[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Maggie[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Dame[/name_f] [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] [name_m]Smith[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Jane[/name_f] (or Austen)
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Lovelace[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] [name_m]Franklin[/name_m] (also, obviously, Rosa)
[name_f][/name_f]
For a boy, I think some variation of [name_m]Ray[/name_m] or [name_m]Raymond[/name_m] in the middle spot feels perfect for them. especially since Holt’s middle name is [name_m]Jacob[/name_m], I could see [name_m]Jake[/name_m] wanting [name_m]Raymond[/name_m] as a middle name as a nod to that (something to bring up when he’s joking around with Holt)

love the idea of [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] or [name_f]Maya[/name_f] for a girl! and I cannot believe I forgot about [name_m]Charles[/name_m] (he would definitely faint if they named a child after him), maybe a boy named [name_m]Raymond[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m]?
[name_f][/name_f]
I can also see them giving their son the middle name [name_m]Holt[/name_m], or a daughter named [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] (after [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] Roosevelt)
