I think I like Greyson and Aiden best.
Good luck in picking the right name!

My favorites would probably by Greyson and Beckham.
Greyson -- I like this one a lot. It follows with the trend of surnames-as-first-name, but it is not even in the top 200, so it's not overused.
Bentley -- It's okay, but it does make me think of the car a little too much.
Aiden -- I really, really like this name, but it is has become way too popular. You seem to be going for more unique names, so Aiden doesn't really fit with the others.
Axel -- I don't like it at all. It sounds oily and greasy. :)
Beckham -- It will make everyone think of the soccer player, so your son may either find that annoying or really cool. It is a very nice sounding name, though, and it complements Greyson nicely.
If you are still considering other names, you might want to look at these (part of a list that was generated when I plugged your chosen names into nymbler):
Rowan
Bronson
Tobin
Brody
Benton
Barrett
Bennett
Kenton
Ryder
Gavin
Ryland
Berkeley (instead of Bentley)
Bradford
Beckett (instead of Beckham)
Cullen
Ewan

Honestly, I don't really like any of them. Greyson and Aiden are the only two that I think are decent. Greyson sounds a little too fake upper class British but not too bad. Aiden is super trendy but I don't mind it otherwise really.
Axel is a misspelled car part, and also the now mutant faced singer from Guns n Roses, just a bad idea in my opinion.
A Bentley is a CAR, nobody will ever take him seriously. Do you remember the lyrics to that Kanye West song All Falls Down--"couldn't afford a car so she named her daughter Alexus". Thats what people will think about you and him when they hear his name, even if they never heard the song.
Beckham is a soccer player, he is a HOT soccer player, but its not a good idea to name your kid after a famous persons last name. His whole life will be nothing but "so your parents were big David Beckham fans, huh?" type questions, it will drive him nuts.

I only like Greyson and Aiden but Aiden is SO popular these days. Bentley and Axel remind me of a car and isn't Beckham the last name of that Spice Girl? Anyways none of that matters as long as you like the names so my votes are for Greyson and Aiden. Good Luck with those boys!

I like all of these names, however I am going to suggest something.I don't know if you have middle names already or not, so I picked 1-2 middle names each.
Greyson: MN- Austin
however, I think it would sound better as Austin Greyson
Bently: MN- Parker
Bently Parker
Aiden: MN-Bryant OR Michael
Aiden Bryant
Aiden Michael
I personally don't like Axel or Beckham.
I would name my kids Bentley Parker and Austin Greyson

If this is your final list, then I will choose Greyson and Bentley.
Both can be fairly comfortably shortened, and both would look good on a business card. A lot would depend on the last name, but I assume you had that in mind already.

greyson-makes me think of an older buisness man...would be good when they are older but not for a young boy...
bentley is very uncommon
LOVE the name aiden
axel would be made fun of in school
and with the movie "Bend it like beckham" he would get a few jokes made...
Im not sure what you think of this but try saying "Aiden and Aaron" a few times...has a nice ring to it and such.

just grayson...i do like that one. i really dont like the others. and aiden is waaaay too common. i'd never heard of it till 5 years ago when my nephew was born (its his name). but now its all over and i dont like it. however for twins...i dont know if i would like those two together because they end in the same sound...i'm really opposed to making twins names similar in sound or spelling.

I hate Aiden, it's just my silly pet peeve. Axel makes me think of that video game character.
Greyson, Bentley, and Beckham are cool though (in that order actually).
