Brooke Hogan‘s got a lasting reminder of her late father, Hulk Hogan … because she named one of her twins after him.

Sources close to Brooke tell TMZ … despite Brooke and Hulk being estranged when she gave birth to twins back in January, she gave a special tribute to her famous father by giving her daughter his middle name, Gene.

Brooke’s daughter is named Molly Gene Oleksy … and she wanted the kid to have grandpa’s middle name as a way to honor Hulk.

Brooke and Hulk had been estranged for years when he died — the result of a culmination of issues over the years with how Hulk treated Brooke — but our sources say deep down, Brooke was always a daddy’s girl.

In fact, we’re told one of the main reasons Brooke and her husband, former NHL player Steven Oleksy, moved to Florida was to be close to Hulk and help care for him … but ultimately, that didn’t happen.

Still, Brooke’s grateful she let Hulk know she loved him in their last conversation … way back in September 2023.
