Benjamin?

[hummingbird125]

Thoughts on Benjamin? I've been shying away from it purely because it's so popular, but DH really likes it lately. We have less than 10 weeks to go and I can't believe we haven't decided yet! I'm just wondering if I'd regret not choosing something a little less common...

If we do decide to go with it I'd like to use Rhys as the MN (it was my first choice FN for a while but DH vetoed). Thoughts welcome on that too!

I like it.

I think Benjamin Rhys is very handsome.

We used it as a mn for our youngest. I love it.

It's popular, but I put it on the same level as Elizabeth. Always popular, but classic and lovely.

That being said, I prefer Rhys Benjamin.

I loooooove Rhys but there is no convincing DH to use it as a FN :-(

Wish it wasnt so popular but i really like Benjamin

[wibblywobbly]

I like it a lot. I'd use it even though it's popular because we don't mind popularity as long as we don't currently know kids with that name. (For example, our DD is Sophie and we're strongly considering Andrew or Liam for this baby).

I love Benjamin Rhys, it's strong and classic.

I've never liked it, but there's nothing inherently wrong with it.

I love it. I would love it so much more if it wasn't shortened to Ben.

Benjamin Rhys is lovely.

I think Benjamin is great! I love Benji as a nn too.

[seamonster]

It's a great name.

[jollywife]

I love it.

I prefer Benedict, but Benjamin Rhys is nice.

[cabbagecabbage]

Strong, solid classic. It's very popular but very handsome too.

[geekmama]

DS is Benjamin Alexander - nn Benji because DH's name is Benjamin too. I didn't think I'd like it initially but it's grown on me.

I love Benjamin Rhys!

[jags8]

Classic!

I like it.

Benjamin Rhys is a great name. I try to stay away from popular names but if it's something I really love then I don't care.
