What's included in the Brantley worksheet

Letters to trace: 8; Capital B + 7 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #499; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; Diagonal strokes in y

Brantley is a solid practice name: a capital “B” and 7 lowercase letters that mix easy lines and curves with a few strokes taking more control. The diagonal strokes in “y” are the trickiest part — slanted lines are usually the last strokes young writers control, so expect extra passes there. Watch the tail on “y”: it drops below the baseline onto the lower guide line. The tall letters “t” and “l” reach the top guide line — a common slip is stopping them at the height of the small letters instead. Because Brantley was the #499 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Brantley tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

The letters of Brantley, in the order they are written:

B — One big line down, then back to the top for two bumps out to the right — the first stops at the middle, the second at the bottom.
r — A short line down, then trace back up and add a little curved arm over to the right — and stop there.
a — Curve round like a c, close the circle, then a short line down its right side.
n — A short line down, then back up and over a single hump to the baseline.
t — A tallish line down that curves gently at the bottom, crossed with a short bar at the midline rather than the top.
l — One tall straight line from the top line down to the baseline.
e — A short bar across the middle, then curve up, over, and round like a c underneath it.
y — A short slant down to the baseline, met by a longer slant that keeps going below the line to hang its tail.

Watch the skyline of Brantley: “B”, “t” and “l” reach the top guide line, three tall letters out of 8. One letter hangs a tail beneath the baseline, so the sheet's lower guide line sees real use on this name.

Brantley is one of the long ones: just 206 of the 1,918 names on this site run eight letters or more. On the 2025 boys' list it sits in the wide middle stretch, with 476 of the 965 boys' names on this site ranking behind it.

Tips for tracing Brantley

Open each session with “y” on its own: slanted lines are the strokes children control last, so isolating them first makes Brantley feel shorter than it is.
At 8 letters, Brantley is a lot to take in one pass — cover the first 4 letters in one session and the remainder in the next before joining them up.
Before starting, trace the tail of “y” with a finger down to the lower guide line — Brantley is a name that uses the line below the baseline.
Call out “tall, small, small, small, tall, tall, small, tail” as the pencil moves — naming each letter's height is the quickest fix for uneven sizing in Brantley.
End every session the same way: one Brantley on blank paper, no guides — recall is what turns a traced pattern into a learned one.

Customization options

Font style

Choose dotted outlines while your child is still learning where each stroke goes, and switch to solid light-gray once tracing gets confident — writing over the full letterform is the bridge to copying. The first row always shows Brantley solid and dark.

Letter size

Pick from three letter sizes. A longer name like Brantley keeps all 8 letters on one line at medium or small; on large, use the lines for a few letters at a time instead.

Number of practice lines

The sheet holds 1 to 12 practice lines under the example row. Start low — three or four lines is plenty for a first session — and add more as sessions get longer.
