Sod it, i *think* im doing it !

[MotherDuckSaid]

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 ?! 🙈

Sobriquet said it up thread, I repeated it as found it funny!

Ellis Bentley?

I like Elton and my hormones are perfectly stable... I think.

I like Elton!

MotherDuck, how about Elton Benedict ?

I'm amazed nobody's said Elton Bentley makes them think of Ben Elton. It does me...

I prefer Alton to Elton

Charles Elton Bentley sounds great

Elton Bentley sounds like a knock off Elvis Presley to me, sorry.

Dominic? Nathaniel? both shortenable but I like the short versions.

If you want something not likely to be shortened...
Hal
Gus
Leo
Felix

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

hahaha definitely!

Elton Bentley and his band Mockodile Rock appearing at your local Butlins singing all the hits.

I'm amazed nobody's said Elton Bentley makes them think of Ben Elton

They have.

MotherDuck, how about Elton Benedict?

Bentley is her surname!!

Elton Bentley sounds like a knock off Elvis Presley to me, sorry

I really think some mumsnetters can make any name remind them of any other name. It's like 6 degrees of separation on this forum.

I know where you're coming from OP but not sure it quite works. Please not another Thomas though!
If you want something a bit different how about Cassius Bentley? Sounds fine to me!

Much prefer Thomas. I don't like Elton at all and it doesn't flow with your surname, IMO

Elton is bent is a possible nn so I'd avoid at all costs

Elton.... please no.

Elton Bentley doesn't really go all that well, it's too rhymey and doesn't flow. I wouldn't say Elton was exactly posh either; it makes me think of Clueless with the rich Beverly Hills '90s kids all being named after singers - Cher, Dionne, Elton etc. Thomas Bentley sounds a lot nicer, and actually a lot more 'posh' if that's what you're going for.
