About Bentley
Bentley, a somewhat stuffy British surname, previously associated primarily with an incredibly expensive English car, has had a recent surge in popularity, thanks largely to the reality TV shows 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom, with Bentley being the name of the son of breakout star Maci (another new favorite) Bookout.

Pronounced BENT-lee.
As of October 2026, Bentley ranked #215 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #75 in 2012.
