We’re down to our top four:

[name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_m]Benning[/name_m] B_____
[name_f]Evie[/name_f] [name_m]Benning[/name_m] B_____
[name_u]Clare[/name_u] [name_m]Benning[/name_m] B_____
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_m]Benning[/name_m] B_____

NB’ers — which one do you like best?

My favourites are [name_u]Clare[/name_u] then [name_f]Willa[/name_f]. I like [name_f]Evie[/name_f] but I am put off by its extreme popularity. [name_f]Maren[/name_f] is nice enough but feels a bit bland to me and I’ve heard it pronounced different ways - and I’m not sure how it’s supposed to be pronounced.

3

I like [name_f]Willa[/name_f] best with the middle name; the femininity of it balances out the more surnamey sound of [name_m]Benning[/name_m] and the name as a whole has a nice flow. [name_u]Clare[/name_u] would be my second choice, followed by [name_f]Evie[/name_f]. I don’t prefer the repeated “en” sound between [name_f]Maren[/name_f] and [name_m]Benning[/name_m].

4

This is exactly what I was going to say. So, seconded. Haha

5

I love [name_f]Maren[/name_f]!! To me [name_f]Willa[/name_f] is too trendy and just not my favorite name. Same with [name_f]Evie[/name_f]. [name_f]Claire[/name_f] is okay but very bland in my opinion.

6

I absolutely love [name_f]Willa[/name_f]! I think it sounds vintage but timely, sweet, and fits perfectly with [name_m]Benning[/name_m].

7

[name_f]Willa[/name_f] and [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] are perfect together!

8

[name_u]Clare[/name_u]! [name_f]Willa[/name_f] and [name_f]Evie[/name_f] equal second :slight_smile:

9

I like [name_f]Maren[/name_f] a lot for you! While I prefer the spelling [name_f]Claire[/name_f], [name_u]Clare[/name_u] also seems like a good fit for you. [name_f]Willa[/name_f] is lovely but I don’t find it as striking as [name_f]Maren[/name_f] or [name_u]Clare[/name_u].

10

I love [name_f]Maren[/name_f]!

11

I have a [name_f]Willa[/name_f] so clearly has my heart, but with your last name I really like [name_u]Clare[/name_u] and I also think [name_f]Maren[/name_f] sounds good (even with and perhaps due to the -en repeat). I would cross off [name_f]Evie[/name_f], not bc it’s popular, though that’s true, but bc it’s too cute imo with your last name. I’d use [name_f]Eve[/name_f] over [name_f]Evie[/name_f] without a doubt.

12

[name_f]Willa[/name_f] gets my vote. I like [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_m]Benning[/name_m] B the best. My second fave is [name_u]Clare[/name_u].

13

[name_u]Clare[/name_u] gets my top vote, and I love the middle!

14

[name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_m]Benning[/name_m] B____ is pretty, but I feel like [name_u]Clare[/name_u] will age better. [name_u]Clare[/name_u] [name_m]Benning[/name_m] B____ is gorgeous!
