Vincent

Bumpmadethemjump · 03/09/2016 20:53

What about Leonard with nn Leo?

yesisaidyes · 03/09/2016 20:54

Francis or Vincent

Ornacia · 03/09/2016 20:54

Vincent or Francis. Both fantastic names on their own but even more so when coupled with your surname.

The others are fine but a bit meh in comparison.

Lilaclily · 03/09/2016 20:56

Hugo Vincent

Caldini22 · 03/09/2016 20:59

Great list of names. I especially like Leo and Vincent.

SteviebunsBottrittrundle · 03/09/2016 20:59

Love your list!

I think Vincent and Francis go best with Bentley. Of those two, my favourite is Vincent which I love.

Hugo flows well with Bentley too I think, but I don't know if it sounds a bit like a character in a play or something...? Something I don't like about it anyway, though I do like the name Hugo.

andthenthereweremonkeys · 03/09/2016 21:01

Francis Bentley sounds amazing!

SpeckledyBanana · 03/09/2016 21:02

Samuel.

monkeygone · 03/09/2016 21:02

Leo - 9/10
Samuel - 8/10
Hugo - 6/10
Vincent - 6/10
Francis - 3/10

ImperialBlether · 03/09/2016 21:06

I would go with Louis! He's early 20s and has already had two babies named after him!

ifcatscouldtalk · 03/09/2016 21:11

I like samuel and Leo best.

Wishfulmakeupping · 03/09/2016 21:13

Vincent or Francis

BikeRunSki · 03/09/2016 21:13

Samuel (but I have one)

Also like Leo

I know a Frances Bentley!

Vincent!

user1472934164 · 03/09/2016 21:45

I like Vincent too. But might be shortened to Vinnie which I really like but doesn't suit your surname so well.

Lawrence is similar to your names and sounds good with Bentley.

Leo is my next favourite.

For me, Hugo is quite posh.

Leo
Then Vincent

yesisaidyes · 03/09/2016 21:58

You will probably need to meet your baby OP before you can be sure. I didn't decide on my DS's name until he was a few days old as I needed to see what suited him. My mother said the same thing about my name (the one she had in mind was not the one I looked like). Good luck x
