What name would you chose to get to the nickname Ben?

foreverharriet · July 21, 2018, 8:32am

Not expecting, just collecting!

I really love the name [name_m]Ben[/name_m] - short and sweet and simple - but if I ever used it I would want it to be a nickname for a longer name.

[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]
or
[name_m]Reuben[/name_m]

or something else I’ve not considered?

I was wondering what names you lovely Berries would choose if you wanted to reach the nickname [name_m]Ben[/name_m]!

Thank you lovelies!

[name_m]Bennett[/name_m].

Though I would never shorten it to [name_m]Ben[/name_m].

My favorite is Zeben ([name_m]ZEB[/name_m] ben) nn [name_m]Ben[/name_m]

I second the suggestion of [name_m]Bennett[/name_m], but I also really like the idea of [name_m]Rueben[/name_m] nn [name_m]Ben[/name_m]!

jalila13 · July 21, 2018, 11:04am

[name_m]Benji[/name_m]
[name_m]Benedict[/name_m]
[name_m]Bernard[/name_m]
[name_m]Eben[/name_m]
[name_u]Bentley[/name_u]

I really love [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] nn [name_m]Ben[/name_m], never considered that.

I knew a [name_m]Benton[/name_m] who went by [name_m]Ben[/name_m]. I also like [name_m]Alben[/name_m] and Toben as unusual ways to get to [name_m]Ben[/name_m].

briannah · July 21, 2018, 4:21pm

I like [name_u]Bentley[/name_u] or [name_m]Bennett[/name_m]

alchemicallypurplefa · July 21, 2018, 5:20pm

[name_m]Bennett[/name_m], [name_m]Benedict[/name_m], [name_m]Benji[/name_m], Esben, [name_m]Benno[/name_m], [name_m]Benoit[/name_m], [name_m]Benson[/name_m], [name_m]Benton[/name_m], [name_u]Bentley[/name_u], [name_m]Ebenezer[/name_m], [name_m]Eben[/name_m]

Rosebeth · July 22, 2018, 2:15am

I’d go with [name_m]Eben[/name_m] or [name_m]Ebenezer[/name_m]. [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] is a lovely names as well, but it feels unfair to shorten it to [name_m]Ben[/name_m]… [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] doesn’t need a nickname.

Some other options:

[name_m]Benoni[/name_m]
Benteinn
[name_m]Bernhard[/name_m]

renee_seance · July 22, 2018, 3:27am

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Benedict[/name_m] and [name_m]Reuben[/name_m]!

EloiseT · July 22, 2018, 4:11am

I also like [name_m]Reuben[/name_m], [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] and [name_m]Benedict[/name_m], besides [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m].

nyco · July 22, 2018, 4:59am

[name_m]Ben[/name_m], [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] or [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m].
Never [name_m]Benny[/name_m].

marcardk · July 22, 2018, 5:44am

Another vote for [name_m]Benedict[/name_m]. Or the Italian form [name_m]Benedetto[/name_m].

nemama · July 22, 2018, 5:59am

Loved the suggestion of [name_m]Bennett[/name_m]. Gorgeous!

JenSowvlen · July 22, 2018, 6:19am

No one’s going to suggest [name_m]Obi[/name_m]-wan?

lindens · July 22, 2018, 6:36am

I love [name_m]Bennett[/name_m]

wandsworth · July 22, 2018, 7:17am

I gotcha.

[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] for me.

tulips.and.tea · July 22, 2018, 12:07pm

I really like [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]. [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] would be my personal choice, though.

JessieMxo · July 23, 2018, 2:49am

Surprised more people haven’t gone with [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]. That would be my choice. Although, I do like [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] too.

bjoy · July 23, 2018, 8:04am

[name_m]Ebenezer[/name_m]! I know a baby [name_m]Ebenezer[/name_m] and I kind of love it.
