Beckett vs. Bennett & combos?

We go back and forth on which is better, [name_m]Beckett[/name_m] or [name_m]Bennett[/name_m]. Boyfriend prefers [name_m]Bennett[/name_m], I prefer [name_m]Beckett[/name_m]. WDYT?

And I was wondering what you would pair with each of them because that could be the deciding factor.

Thanks Berries!

I like [name_m]Beckett[/name_m] but love [name_m]Bennett[/name_m]. I have [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Wolf[/name_m] on my short list. I also like [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u].

[name_m]Beckett[/name_m] is one of my favorites! I even like it for a girl with nickname Becks. I don’t feel as strongly about [name_m]Bennett[/name_m], it’s kind of more blah to me. Not sure what I would pair it with, but really anything one or two syllables would sound good, except for another short e sound. We’ve considered [name_m]Beckett[/name_m] [name_u]Carson[/name_u] after a character my husband likes, so something along those lines.

Well, I am biased since I have a [name_m]Bennett[/name_m]! I think it is a bit more dignified as an adult.

[name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u] is really handsome! All I could come up with was [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Liam[/name_m] and I’m not feeling [name_m]Liam[/name_m] because of popularity.
@boyandgirl I get what you are saying about [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] aging well. I have only met one [name_m]Beckett[/name_m], and no Bennetts. I didn’t even like the name [name_m]Beckett[/name_m] until I met the child! Thanks for the input guys, I’ll take it into consideration :slight_smile:

I adore [name_m]Bennett[/name_m], but I’ve always had a thing for the [name_m]Ben[/name_m] names.
[name_m]Beckett[/name_m] is all right but feels more trendy for whatever reason.

[name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_u]Kai[/name_u]
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_u]Cade[/name_u]
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Luke[/name_m]
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m]
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Heath[/name_m]

I like both. [name_m]Beckett[/name_m] definitely seems more your style, based on [name_m]Callen[/name_m] and [name_m]Archer[/name_m]. [name_m]Beckett[/name_m] is cool because you could call him [name_u]Beck[/name_u] for short, whereas [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] I would probably never shorten. I love [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] but [name_m]Ben[/name_m] is kind of boring to me.

I adore both names, they sound sophisticated and cool at the same time. It really is a tough decision.
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m] I love as a full name but I don’t love [name_m]Ben[/name_m] (which I think would be unavoidable over time).
[name_m]Beckett[/name_m] has the very cool nn [name_u]Beck[/name_u] while the full name sounds more like a British Aristocrat (which I like).
With these two name you can’t go wrong!

@kala_way I love all of those except for [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Heath[/name_m]!
@emsky & @opheliaflora I agree with the whole “[name_m]Ben[/name_m]” thing. I definitely don’t want him to be called [name_m]Ben[/name_m], just because it’s too plain for my style. To me, [name_m]Beckett[/name_m] seems a little easier to say for some reason, so I think that’s why I’m leaning more toward it. My boyfriend likes [name_m]Beckett[/name_m] more too, so that may sway us. We really like [name_m]Beckett[/name_m] [name_m]Zane[/name_m] as a combo, and as for [name_m]Bennett[/name_m], I’d love [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u]!

[name_m]Beckett[/name_m]! I think it sounds better, flows with [name_m]Callen[/name_m] [name_m]Archer[/name_m], and the nn [name_u]Beck[/name_u] has ‘cool’ written all over it. Also, I like [name_m]Beckett[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] as a combo.

[name_m]Just[/name_m] wanted to say thanks again to all that replied! I loved [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u], and it is now on my unofficial short list :slight_smile: Also, my friend tonight suggested [name_m]Beckett[/name_m] [name_m]Valor[/name_m] to me and I [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] IT. So, that is the one I’ve added to the short list as well.

[name_m]Both[/name_m] are very handsome.

Thank you so much! :slight_smile:
