Which do you prefer?

[JillieBean]

Very early in this pregnancy, we have a hard time with boys names though.
Which do you prefer...

Bennett Robert Smith
or
Benjamin Robert Smith.

My son is Harrison Douglas Smith.

I'm partial to traditional names and would choose Benjamin for myself. However, I think Bennett goes better with Harrison.

 

[JillieBean]

I agree with you on both counts! I prefer traditional names, and love Benjamin, but I feel like there must be a million Benjamin Smiths out there and Bennett goes better with Harrison.

 

[wannabemomy37]

Yep, exactly my thoughts!

Bennett and Harrison are nice together both verbally and visually. I like how they both have double letters.

 

[staralfur]

I actually think Harrison and Benjamin sound better together (and I prefer Benjamin).

 

[JillieBean]

My other concern with Benjamin that I forgot is kind of silly, but I don't want people to think we are superfans of the president, Benjamin Harrison!

 

[NennaKay]

Love both Benjamin and Bennett, but I would go with Benjamin as I don't like the double 't' sound in Bennett Robert. Good luck!

 

[jessmke]

I love Bennett. It would have been our boy name pick, except that my nephew is Benjamin, and it would be very confusing if they were both called Ben.

 

[TeddysGirl]

Benjamin (was our second choice for our LO but funnily enough we're going with Harrison)

 

[Qmama79]

Bennett has my preference

 

[Bevziibubble]

Bennett

 

[JillieBean]

Benjamin (was our second choice for our LO but funnily enough we're going with Harrison)

That is funny! We must have the same taste in names! Out of curiosity, what were your girl picks?

 

[stiletto_mom]

Bennet

 

[ChiiBaby]

Benjamin

 

[hellojello25]

I REALLY like Bennett and usually I'm more for the traditional names. And Bennett goes well with your other son's name too.

 

[busytulip]

I prefer Bennet as it goes nicely with Harrison-that being said I think Benjamin Robert sounds nicer together.

 

[Fezzle]

We're thinking of Ben, and going for Benjamin (rather than Bennett or Benedict). I think Benjamin goes better with Robert- we have a similar thing with how it goes with our surname.

 

[CandiceSj]

I'm completely in the middle and can't even give you an opinion on one or the other! lol. Benjamin is more traditional, has the same number of syllables as Harrison which is kinda cool. Bennett has the double letters like Harrison which is also kinda cool. Nice names, good luck!

 

[kksy9b]

I definitely prefer Benjamin Robert. Not a fan of the double T with Bennett Robert

 

[lau86]

I like Them both but Benjamin has the edge for me
