I named my daughter Bentley and everyone said i named her after some teen mom show's lil boy and i have been told many times that its a very popular name for boys. i have even been told "to bad you cant change her name now" i wouldn;t for anything anyway. i love her name i choose it because it was unique and i thought it would suit a girl. i just hope she owns it and loves it as much as i do. i didnt know it was a boys name or some celebirty's kids name i hate how people assume that, just because her name is Bentley it doesn't have to be from a famous person.

How did the name "Avery" become a girls name? I have an 18 son "Avery", named after his godfather. He also has a friend name "Avery" (also a boy). The name means "king of the elves". Curious that it is now on the girl list.

My 21/2 year old grandson's name is Anderson Henry Carter. I'm sorry to say he was not named after Anderson Cooper. Although I am a big fan. Love the daytime show.
