Suggestions for strong boy names. My husband’s middle name is Bentley (family name) and last name is two syllables ie: Johnson. Need a first strong boy name that goes with Bentley!

Is it a good idea to post real names on here?

If you're happy to do so, Mumsnet are usually helpful with this kind of question.

whole name " XXXX <two syllables> <two syllables>"

XXXX needs to be a single syllable plain classical name like Hugh, Jack, Tom, James, Max, John so that the whole name rolls off the tongue smoothly.

James
Jack
George

Nothing too modern and 'footballerish' with that surname 🙂

Edward Bentley, always consider the initials, my son had a friend with the initials BRA!
