Is Bentley a boy name or girl name?

Or unisex? 

A friend of DH just status updated on FB that his baby Bentley has arrived.  I assumed it was a girl...DH says a boy.  So far everyone on FB has commented things like "Congrats" or "Can't wait to see pics".  I don't want to offend him by asking "boy or girl?" so we're just waiting for pics.  Just curious...

It's neither --- it's a car! 

Ok, kidding.  Kidding.  I would say boy, spelled that way.

I've seen it used as either, but according to the Social Security administration it is more commonly used as a boy's name.

ETA: On The Jefferson's it was their male neighbor.

Jodi beat me to it...I was gonna say, "Neither--it's a car name!"  I see it more for girls lately...kind of like Addison and Taylor and such.

With that spelling, I would say boy, but I have only heard it as a girl's name.

I knew someone that had a dog named Bentley...it was a girl.

I have a student in my class this year with that name.  He is a boy.

I would agree with this.

The first time I've ever seen it was Zacook's DD. The second was on Teen Mom and it was a boy.

doesn't someone here have a DD named that?

I would say girl, but I'd be unsure too!

My first reaction was that it is a car too!

I only know one Bentley and it is a boy.
