Bentley?

I am thinking of using [name]Bentley[/name] for a baby girl. I really like [name]Bentley[/name] [name]Rose[/name]. Thoughts?

To each his own, I guess, but I’m not a fan at all. [name]Do[/name] you watch 16 and Pregnant/Teen Mom? There is a baby named [name]Bentley[/name] on there, and on one of the message boards I visit, almost everyone had the comment, “Adorable baby, awful name.” Certainly it’s not the worst I’ve ever heard, but to me it’s a last name that does not make a good first one.

Oh! [name]Bentley[/name]…for a girl? [name]May[/name] I ask what appeals to you about it? Is it the strong B sound, the -ey ending, the surname feel? I just cannot endorse [name]Bentley[/name], or any [name]Ben[/name] name, for a girl, personally. It feels entirely masculine to me. Sorry!

If it is the B sound, what about [name]Bryony[/name] [name]Rose[/name]? If it is the -ey ending, what about [name]Marley[/name] [name]Rose[/name]? If it is the surname feel, what about [name]Halsey[/name] [name]Rose[/name]? If you want a B name with nickname appeal, try [name]Birdie[/name] [name]Rose[/name], even…

And, [name]Alexis[/name], about Teen Mom’s [name]Macy[/name] and her baby boy, [name]Bentley[/name], it isn’t the name I’d choose for him, but I definitely think it suits him, and I think the way the name sounds with her accent is particularly adorable. Ha!

I like the sound of it, but personally I would not use it. Am I mistaken, or is Benley the name of a car? I’m not a big fan of using brand names for children. (no offense!)

Why, yes, yes it is a car! A very expensive, luxury vehicle at that! This, my friends, is a [name]Bentley[/name]…

I know! I don’t know how to even explain the pronounciation, but it’s so cute. Also, I’m impressed watching this show how many of the girls have given their babies nice normal names - with the exception of [name]Nevaeh[/name]. I was expecting Madisons and Jadens galore, so it was a nice surprise.

I love [name]Maci[/name] from Teen Mom and [name]Bentley[/name] is sooooo cute! So now I like the name :slight_smile:

To me, [name]Bentley[/name] is just a car I can’t afford. I guess I just don’t get the appeal, especially for a girl (this is coming from someone who isn’t into overly frilly names, in general).
Are there other names you’ve been thinking about? Some you might like:
[name]Hadley[/name] [name]Rose[/name]
[name]Briton[/name] [name]Rose[/name]
[name]Everly[/name]/Everleigh [name]Rose[/name]
[name]Avery[/name] [name]Rose[/name]
[name]Ainsley[/name] [name]Rose[/name]
[name]Ashlyn[/name] [name]Rose[/name]

sounds kind of trendy and ostentatious like naming your child mercedes, porsche, or gucci.

hmmm. i would reconsider.

Oh! I’ve only seen the season with [name]Maci[/name] and [name]Bentley[/name], [name]Farrah[/name] and [name]Sophia[/name], [name]Amber[/name] and [name]Leah[/name], and [name]Catelynn[/name] and (adopted) [name]Carly[/name]. In addition to loving how [name]Maci[/name] says [name]Bentley[/name]'s - what is it, BIEHNT-lee? - name, I really loved that [name]Farrah[/name] always called [name]Sophia[/name] by her full name. Something distinguished in a [name]Sophia[/name], I think! But, there was a [name]Nevaeh[/name]?!?

Sorry to take over this thread with Teen Mom stuff! Wow…

Yes, there was a [name]Nevaeh[/name] this season, as well as a [name]Jace[/name] and a [name]Lyle[/name] so far. We’ll see what tomorrow’s episode brings. :wink:

At first, I could only think of the car when I heard the name, but now, I’m getting used to [name]Bentley[/name] as a boys’ name. It’s not my personal style and I’ve never heard it on a girl before, but I don’t see why you couldn’t name a baby girl [name]Bentley[/name] if it’s the name you love. (It’s still predominantly a car name to me, though, which makes it hard for me to see on a girl–and I’m guessing I’m not alone–but maybe that will change as [name]Bentley[/name] becomes more popular as a name.)

You may also like [name]Bellamy[/name] or [name]Blakely[/name].

Oh i love teen mom! This season has made me more sad with names then last though, i thought last season was actually surprisingly good! [name]Lyle[/name] was a little odd, but acceptable, [name]Jace[/name] seemed very tryndee to me (just the name though, not sure why), then [name]Nevaeh[/name], oh goodness this name makes me cringe, the girl ([name]Valerie[/name] i think?) said “I’m naming her [name]Nevaeh[/name] because its [name]Heaven[/name] spelling backwards!” AHHHH! :(, Last week was [name]Aubree[/name] [name]Sky[/name]. [name]Aubrey[/name], is perfectly acceptable, but [name]Aubree[/name]? uhhh groan :frowning: But tomorrows episode brings a new name!

I’m sorry to say but many people look on naming children brand names is lower class. So you would be giving a girl that preconception.

I would not name a girl (or a boy) a name that starts with “Bent.” I don’t care about the car, although expensive and exclusive brand names tend to come off as a form of trying to blend in with the elite and failing, “fake being classy” is more transparent than people who use these names seem to understand.

This might be a family name, I don’t know. It certainly sounds more “family” than car to me, you just never see a [name]Bentley[/name] car around, and people who talk about expensive cars usually don’t even talk about Bentleys, although everyone seems to know it’s an expensive car if you say [name]Bentley[/name]! I’ve never seen this teen mom show, but I have seen “The Jeffersons” - [name]Bentley[/name] was the English man who lived down the hall. It never seemed weird to me that was his name, but I think this is a different time. Naming a girl [name]Bentley[/name] reminds me of the thread we had a while ago with twin girls and a brother all named after luxury hotels. All I can think of are very bad jokes. Sorry to say it also sounds like the kind of name people use for their dog.

My dog (1/2 poodle- 1/2 brussel griffon) is named [name]Bentley[/name]. I picked it out & It’s a cute name on him (he is 6 years old). I have never heard it used on a person until I saw it on teen mom. I personally could not name a girl [name]Bentley[/name]- their are so, so many beautiful names out there!!! But, each person has to decide what makes them happy =0)

I think it could be really cute. It can be used for a girl. I associate the -ley ending with a girl more than a boy. Use it! [name]Bentley[/name] [name]Rose[/name] sounds adorable :slight_smile:

same here!! of all the moms she seems the most devoted to her baby and so, so in love with him! Its wonderful!!!
His full name is [name]Bentley[/name] [name]Caydence[/name]. Cute

Yes, there was a [name]Nevaeh[/name] this season, as well as a [name]Jace[/name] and a [name]Lyle[/name] so far. We’ll see what tomorrow’s episode brings. ;-)[/quote]
