I’ve met a few professionals named Brooklyn. People seemed to take them seriously. I certainly did. I make my decisions based on qualifications, not names. If someone’s opportunities to earn those qualifications is blocked because the admissions or hiring committee thinks the name is “Jersey Shore”, that’s discrimination.
