Announcing my son, [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m], was born on [name_f]October[/name_f] 23, 2018.
I chose [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] because it was unique, yet not unheard of. My husband and I constantly disagreed about names but this name was something we both liked. When we went to [name_u]London[/name_u] very soon after learning we were pregnant, we read about many historic figures named [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] as it was a popular surname in Europe. It felt like a sign we were on the right path. In addition, I love the ETTE sound as my mother is named [name_f]Annette[/name_f]. The name felt like a nice tip of the hat to her. Finally, the name means blessing, adored which he is and always will be.
[name_m]John[/name_m] is a family name on my husbands side. I also loved the simplicity of it. I’ve known many Johns in my life that have impacted me so it was an easy choice to pair with [name_m]Bennett[/name_m].
