We are naming our baby boy Bennett...I actually got the name from my favorite author Jane Austen and the main character in her book, Pride & Prejudice, Eliza Bennett.
by kcpaige18I like Bennett for a boy or girl!
by Naturalb1Bennett is a very sweet baby boy name!

by heatbryantThis is my DS's name. I made a point soon after he was born that he would NEVER be called Benny (just typing it makes me cringe). Also, I said that if he is to be called Ben it would be his choice, but he will always be Bennett to me. To answer PPs question it is pronounced just like the singer Tony Bennett (BEN-it)
by Brags0607For those of you that have a child named Bennett, how do you pronounce it?
by HotDonnaLuvsPauloLove it for a boy!

by gingerbestLOVE it! It was my maiden name and we named our second son Bennett!
by Redrdrlike it a lot for a boy; strong yet sweet. not sure why it's listed as a possibility for a girl... especially if people shorten it to Ben!
by el.marI love love love this name, But I don't want my child to be called Ben his whole life. :( Maybe a middle name so it can't be shortened.
by arielbeckerWe named our son Bennett and he's almost three. We are complimented on his name all the time. The only thing I don't like about his name is the possibility of the nickname Benny.
