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

Boy Names
22

My favorite is [name_m]Bennett[/name_m], followed by [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]. I only think of the sandwich when I hear [name_m]Reuben[/name_m].

23

I like [name_m]Ruben[/name_m], with the more streamlined Spanish spelling. And [name_m]Benedict[/name_m], which I think would be my first pick.

24

[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] will always be my favourite! [name_m]Benedict[/name_m], [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] and [name_m]Benaiah[/name_m] are other fine choices.

25

Benjiah is a name in our ancestry which I think is neat, sort of a smash up of [name_m]Ben[/name_m] and [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] but not quite.
Did they do smash ups 200 years ago?

26

I know I commented before but this has been in the back of my mind…[name_m]Benen[/name_m]?

27

I would definitely choose [name_m]Bennett[/name_m], but my best friend’s planning on having a little [name_u]Bentley[/name_u] which I also think is adorable (and also negates me ever having a [name_m]Ben[/name_m] LOL)

28

[name_m]Reuben[/name_m] is my favorite way to get to [name_m]Ben[/name_m]! I think it’s handsome & unexpected! I really love [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] too though!

29

[name_m]Benedict[/name_m]
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m]
[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]
[name_m]Benji[/name_m]
Benford
[name_m]Benson[/name_m]
[name_u]Bentley[/name_u]
[name_m]Benton[/name_m]

30

People will likely assume the full name is [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m], but so many other names could work :slight_smile:

[name_m]Alben[/name_m]
[name_m]Benson[/name_m]
[name_u]Corben[/name_u]
[name_m]Ebenezer[/name_m]

31

I love both [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] and [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] a lot! I have a little second cousin named [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m], so I feel like I probably couldn’t use it anymore (at least as a first), but it was always my first [name_m]Ben[/name_m] love. These days I REALLY love [name_m]Benoit[/name_m] and [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] nn [name_m]Ben[/name_m], but I weirdly like [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] nn [name_m]Ben[/name_m], too, as much of a stretch though it is…

32

[name_m]Benji[/name_m]!
Or [name_m]Benyamin[/name_m]

33

Definitely [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] !

Or [name_m]Benji[/name_m]
