What's included in the Brooklyn worksheet

Letters to trace: 8; Capital B + 7 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #118; Girls' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: challenging; Diagonal strokes in k, y

Brooklyn leans toward the demanding end of the stroke range — it spells out with 7 different letters over 8 positions, with more than one letter that arrives only after the basic lines and curves are solid. The diagonal strokes in “k” and “y” are the trickiest part — slanted lines are usually the last strokes young writers control, so expect extra passes there. Watch the tail on “y”: it drops below the baseline onto the lower guide line. The double “o” is a nice rhythm builder: tracing the same letter twice in a row helps the shape stick. Because Brooklyn was the #118 girls' name of 2025, a ready-made Brooklyn tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

Stroke by stroke, the letters of Brooklyn:

B — One big line down, then back to the top for two bumps out to the right — the first stops at the middle, the second at the bottom.
r — A short line down, then trace back up and add a little curved arm over to the right — and stop there.
o — The same closed circle drawn half-size, sitting between the midline and the baseline. Brooklyn uses it twice.
k — A tall line down, then the same two little kicks — in to the midline and back out to the baseline.
l — One tall straight line from the top line down to the baseline.
y — A short slant down to the baseline, met by a longer slant that keeps going below the line to hang its tail.
n — A short line down, then back up and over a single hump to the baseline.

The tall strokes in Brooklyn come from “B”, “k” and “l” — three of its 8 letters reach the top guide line. One letter hangs a tail beneath the baseline, so the sheet's lower guide line sees real use on this name.

Brooklyn is one of the long ones: just 206 of the 1,918 names on this site run eight letters or more. Its popularity is middle-of-the-list for 2025 girls' names — still ahead of 836 of the 953 here.

Brooklyn was the #118 girls' name in the U.S. for 2025, per the Social Security Administration's public-domain baby-names data. One page is all it takes: three-line handwriting guides with a descender line below them, sized for US Letter and printing cleanly on A4.

Tips for tracing Brooklyn

Warm up on the slanted strokes in “k” and “y” before the full name — diagonals are the lines young writers master last, and five lone tries first make the whole of Brooklyn feel easier.
At 8 letters, Brooklyn is a lot to take in one pass — cover the first 4 letters in one session and the remainder in the next before joining them up.
Before starting, trace the tail of “y” with a finger down to the lower guide line — Brooklyn is a name that uses the line below the baseline.
The double “o” in Brooklyn is a built-in rhythm drill: two identical shapes back to back, so the second one should come out steadier than the first.
Call out “tall, small, small, small, tall, tall, tail, small” as the pencil moves — naming each letter's height is the quickest fix for uneven sizing in Brooklyn.
Close with a single unguided Brooklyn on scrap paper. Tracing teaches the movement; writing it from memory makes it stick.

Customization options

Font style

The dotted style breaks each letter of Brooklyn into a traceable outline; the solid light-gray style shows the whole letterform to write over. Most families start dotted and move to gray as pencil control improves — the dark example row stays either way.

Letter size

Three guide-line heights. At 8 letters, Brooklyn is happiest on medium or small lines — the large size is better saved for warming up on one letter at a time.

Number of practice lines

Set 1 to 12 practice lines below the example row. Fewer, larger lines for beginners; more, smaller lines for daily practice sheets.
