What do you think about naming a baby boy Bentley James Stephenson?

I am having a baby boy and I am thinking about the name Bentley James Stephenson, what do you think? Do you have any suggestions?|||It is a good name. Especially because you have options.





Bentley James does sound distinguished, a respectable name which could generate trust if he became a doctor or a banker. It could be a bit high sounding, for those who like to nit-pick.





But you can also call him Ben, for short. This gives him the option for his name to sound more familiar and down to earth, particularly if there is trouble with it in school. Where Bentley sounds proper and educated, Ben is a name that sounds friendly and fun. You and he will have the choice of either.





And James is even a good fall-back name, should the boy decide he doesn't like Bentley. This does happen sometimes, but if you encourage and allow him to really take possession of his own name, he will grow to appreciate at least some form of it.


I love a name with options. It gives you a chance to grow with it, through the varied phases and times in your life.


Good Choice.|||Glad to be of help. Good luck with the delivery.

|||bentley runs in my husbands family and its a tradition all the boys get it as a middle name so i like it.


james is always a safe keeper and timeless! its my grandpas name so iv always thought about it when i have a boy.|||I can't get past the car thing- James Stephenson works great.. I'm just not wild about Bentley- what if you flipped it to James Bentley Stephenson? What about names with a similar feel to Bentley- Brent, Brandt, Ben, Bradley....|||Bentley is feminine...I could be impartial there though bc a grew up with a girl named Bentley. I love the name James though.|||Bentley will get nicknamed Bent which will morph into "get bent" which is just rude and crude.





Please reconsider--perhaps Brandon James Stephenson...|||I love it! It sounds very robust and sophisticated. It's a very mature, manly name.|||one question. why on earth would you name a child after a car? switch the middle and first names around, and it would be acceptable|||Sounds distinguished... he'll likely be a dr or something! ;)|||might get teased when he's older (bent) and is a car name but so what if you like it then he's your child its up to you|||its adorable|||i think bentley is a car name.|||very strong and opinionated is wat i think of wen i hear that name|||very cute :)|||Just makes me think of a car, but its your baby and you should name him what you like.|||Don't like it at all.
