What do you think of Bentley as a boy's name? It's listed on Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder.

Are we now using the seriously weird MN baby name guide as if it is just serious.

Bently is a vintage car
Bent is just cruel

aspirational bollocks.

I don't like it, sorry.

Sounds like the car . However, for me - and anyon who comes from Doncaster - it is also a not so great area round there and not somewhere i would name my child after!

Hedwig3 · 24/06/2010 19:47

I think dog, just because I know one with that name.

seeker · 24/06/2010 19:50

Car or dog. Ridiculous.

feedthegoat · 24/06/2010 20:06

It is the name of a place near to where I live. And to be honest, it is not exactly one I would want to name my child after either.

amothersplaceisinthewrong · 24/06/2010 20:07

not a lot

feedthegoat · 24/06/2010 20:08

There was a baby called Bentley on an American Teen Mom programme. It just sounded wrong.

dixiechick1975 · 24/06/2010 20:31

Yes I was going to say teen mom (MTV) - has to be said with a southern drawl.

He teenage bf picked it for his son - think he was a mechanic.

Hulababy · 24/06/2010 20:55

lol feedthegoat!

Rockbird · 24/06/2010 20:57

I really really want one but the one I have my eye on is £120,000. DH just refuses to work any harder.

Oh, as a name? Now don't be silly.

PaulineCampbellJones · 24/06/2010 21:25

Ha ha dixiechick I wasn't sure whether to reveal my secret crap TV watching!
