re: Boy name too common?

Quoting waiting on little luna!:" you can thank MTV for starting 16 and pregnant and showcasing maci naming her son bentley lol i'm thinking the name's more common amongst teen/young moms."

Yeah, I know where the sudden 'boom' came from, I just don't get it. It's not even a remotely close to being a good name.

Quoting Tarynosaurus Rex:" I don't like it. I know a girl who named her son Bentlee. (gag) Plus it's going on the same path as the ... [snip!] ... as the Hayden/Jaden/Aiden names. Gradually becoming more and more popular until every other kid in their class has that name."

My daughter's name is Hayden lol I named her waaaaaaaay before the "ayden" trend became over the top popular

It is a popular name (thanks to teem mom I think) but it's an adorable name!! My husband hates it though but he's also a petrol head so I think that's related haha.

That's the name I had in mind for a boy too but it really is everywhere now. I have a very common name and while I like my name I hated that there were so many of us growing up. I gave my daughter a different name but all the boy names I like are in the top 100. However I know some people who complain because their names are different too so I guess it really doesn't matter in the end.

I know the feeling! I was once in a class with 3, including myself, Lindsays (all spelled differently). My husband's name is Jim so that's seriously common too. It gets annoying when someone calls out your name and you're ready for a conversation/answer/whatever and they aren't talking to you!

Well, it's a nice name. If you have some confusion, then take a poll from your partner, close friends. I would like to suggest you a name "William"

It's probably only a matter of time until there are names that start rhyming with it...Dentley, Hentley, Zentley, Tentley, etc.

Bwahaha @ Tentley. Awesome.

Ew. PUKE. My roommate's son is named Heath (after The Joker cuz he loves Batman lol) and I think that's a pretty cool name. My niece's name is Aamira which is Arabic for princess. There are so many unique/not stupid sounding names I just don't get why anyone would name their kid what everyone else is naming theirs. I really have to get creative if I have kids because their last name would be Jackson and I don't want them to have the same first and last name as half the country.

Quoting {{Expecting #3}}:" My daughter's name is Hayden lol I named her waaaaaaaay before the "ayden" trend became over the top popular"

I actually prefer it for a girl. Idk why. The name I REALLY can't stand though is Kayden.

Quoting Tarynosaurus Rex:" I actually prefer it for a girl. Idk why. The name I REALLY can't stand though is Kayden."

I can't stand any of the names.

I looked at names with my cultures background which is Irish and found my sons name =) If you want a unique name you have to do some research

I don't care for the name, regardless of the popularity. Something like Benjamin would be better, imo.

I don't like it
