Bentley?

lv2bhapi

I LOVE the name Bentley. It was also the name of DH's grandfather. We planned on using it if we ever had a boy, with Ben as the nickname. Well, that was before my stepbrother and his wife had a boy and named him Benjamin.

Would you still use Bentley?

No i wouldnt use Bentley

RedCardinal

If it has special meaning, why not use it as a middle name ? I think 2 Ben's that are pretty close in age and cousin's would be a no-go for me. Suggestions:::

James Bentley

Arlen Bentley

Warren Bentley

Miles Bentley

Leon Bentley

Nolan Bentley

Reid Bentley

Pierce Bentley

Faolan Bentley

Wyatt Bentley

Alexander Bentley

Niall Bentley

I would. I really like the name. I would just call him Bentley not Ben.

If you LOVE the name then you should still use it!  I would absolutely still use the name, especially since it was your husband's grandfather's name!!  Go for it!!

I wouldn't use it if someone tied me to a chair and performed water torture on me.

I think Bentley is a fantastic choice for a middle name. But as a first name? Gag me.

I'd use it as a middle name.  I love the name Ben but Bentley is NMS.  If you are close with your step brother and the kids would grow up knowing each other, I'd probably skip Ben and use it as a mn.

I can't imagine using it as a baby's name because my dog's name is Bentley but I like the idea of  using it as a middle name.

PhilsWife07

No. But I also wouldn't use Bentley ever.

Sorry, I agree.

But, since it's a family name and you love it, I'd go for a middle name spot considering the cousin.

Since it's a family name, I understand your wish to use it. But if it were me, I wouldn't use it now. Benjamin and Bentley are too close imo, Bentley makes me think of a dog or the show Teen Mom. First two things to pop into my mind. Pair that with the similarity...

Bint-Lee!! I have a hard time hearing this name and not saying it with a southern accent.

THIS!!  It's so cute how her accent gets thicker when she says his name lol

I wouldn't use it, besides the Teen Mom thing, I've known too many dogs named Bentley....and it's a car....

Under no circumstances would I ever use Bentley.

SoonToBeMamaP

LOVE love Bentley - I personally wouldn't use Ben, but the whole name instead.  It would be our boy name if DH didn't have a say

shanharman

Teen Mom. That's all I've got to say.

shanty27

My first thought is Teen Mom. But Because I like Teen Mom, I am okayish with that. I agree with everyone else's suggestion of using it as a middle name. That way you still get to use it but maybe you could find another first name that works better
