Elton Bentley !

I wanted something tht cdnt b shortened and sounded a bit posho

I've asked my ten year old and friends if they know Elton john and just got blank stares..

Am I being mental ?! 🙈

You could drop the L and make it Eton.....that's definitely posh.

Bentley is a cool surname. But Elton as a name more or less belongs to Elton John. I really wouldn't do it.

Do it! There's a million Thomas' already

Just do it. Youll always regret it if you dont.

It doesn't roll off the tongue, Elton Bentley.

I agree that Thomas, Charles or William Bentley sound much posher. Really quite classy.

Elton, meh not so much

'Just do it. Youll always regret it if you dont.'

And little Elton might always regret it if she does

I know of three Thomas's under 5. There are more children called Thomas, Henry and James etc than Elton but not millions of any of them.

Ah ok so Bentley is the surname. I think I'd be tempted to ditch Elton in that case. What about Jasper or Hayden?

Agree with PP about William sounding good. Also Nicolas, Christopher, Max

What is wrong with Elton?

Is it because Bentley sounds like Bent and Elton John is gay?

I think more of Ben Elton. I think Elton is a cool name.

'Is it because Bentley sounds like Bent and Elton John is gay?'

Er, no. I think you're the only person to have made that leap!

El bent....

Ok it's probably just the sound then. I just didn't get why people are so against it.

Elton is nice. Bentley isn't a name is it?

Night to me it's on a par with Cliff. I can't associate the name Cliff with anyone but Cliff Richard just like Elton will always = Elton John to me.

If I try really hard I then remember Mr Elton from Emma, but he was a total dick so that doesn't help!

Yeah, but people call their kids things like Beyoncé and Cher these days.

Actually, Cliff is a pretty cool name too.

Yes Night but they shouldn't

I can imagine a North London hipster calling their baby Cliff but I must be missing the hipster gene as I think Cliff is pretty bad. And by pretty bad obviously I mean as bad as it gets!

I don't like Elton, sorry. I love Charles. Or Thomas. Or Elliott. Charles Bentley is a very classy name. Elton isn't. Why not have it as a middle name? Charles Elton Bentley works well.

I don't think that there is anything massively wrong with Elton, but I don't think it works very well with Bentley because of the repeat sounds. Elton Charles Bentley sounds better but I don't suppose he'll be called that very often! Still mostly he'll just be Elton, so if you like the name I'd go for it.

Elliot Bentley - that's a yes from me.

Can't stand Elton John.

El Bent

That's sealed it for me Vixx.

I think it sounds great

Definitely prefer Thomas to Elton!

Hormones told me that "Breeze" was a nice name for DD.
