Ben - Outside the box full names

Boy Names
1

I’m looking for as many long names that can be shortened to [name_m]Ben[/name_m] as possible. I’ve considered the most obvious names that start with BEN: [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m], [name_u]Bennett[/name_u], [name_m]Benedict[/name_m] etc but I’m hoping you can help me come up with some more outside the box alternatives.

  • This is to help solve a mystery and not for a child being born anytime soon so weirdness is not a problem.I’ll tackle my personal baby name conundrum in another post.

I could see [name_m]Ben[/name_m] being used as a nn for [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]. Not sure if that’s a stretch but I think it works.

I second [name_m]Benoit[/name_m]. I also like [name_u]Bennett[/name_u] and [name_m]Benedict[/name_m] from your list. A name that could be more outside of the box is [name_m]Reuben[/name_m], which I adore (although I personally love Roo as a [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] nickname).

I love the look of [name_m]Benedikt[/name_m] as a way to get to [name_m]Ben[/name_m]. It gives [name_m]Benedict[/name_m] a bit of flare and is a bit more unexpected for such a classic nickname.

I was about to say the same as @rosajune! I think [name_m]Ben[/name_m] would work as a nickname for [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] if you don’t mind it being somewhat unexpected :slight_smile:

I don’t know how uncommon you’d want to go but I’m using [name_m]Ben[/name_m]-[name_u]Ami[/name_u] nn [name_m]Ben[/name_m] for my son. It’s pronounced like BEN-ah-MEE.

[name_m]Ben[/name_m]-[name_u]Zion[/name_u]
[name_m]Benoni[/name_m]
[name_m]Eben[/name_m]
[name_m]Ebenezer[/name_m]
