Baby Names

Bennett, Luke, Joseph or Daniel?

We have our boy names narrowed down to Daniel, Joseph, Luke and Bennett. I'd pick Daniel if I had it my way bc it's MILs maiden name and DHs middle name. DH is so so on it though. His fave is Luke, but it's too popular for me! I know Daniel is popular, but its a famil name and I can get over that. So, Bennett...too trendy because it's a surname? Do you know any Bennett's? It would he Bennett Daniel B----- Thanks!

Re: Bennett, Luke, Joseph or Daniel?

  • I vote for Daniel because it's my favorite and I'm always for family names.

    Bennett is too trendy, random-last-name for me.

  • I LOVE Luke. If this little girl had been a boy, his name was going to be Luke. I agree it's more popular than I'd like, but I don't actually know anyone with the name, and my fondness for the name outweighted the popularity issue. My next favorite from you list is Bennett.

  • I do like the name Bennett but it is becoming very popular where I live (midwest).  I know 3 baby Bennett's born in just the last 6 months.  If it's not as popular where you live or if you don't care about that, I think that is a good choice.  I like Daniel the best of your names actually.  Joseph and Luke are a little boring for me.

  • I like both Luke and Bennett. I know only one Luke and no Bennetts. I think they are both adorable names!
  • I like Daniel and Joseph.  I prefer Lucas to Luke and Bennett does seem to trendy.
  • I like any of the other three better than Bennett.  It's just too last-namey for me.

  • I would use Joseph if it were me.

    But for you....I would do Daniel.  Family significance trumps everything, to me.  (Says the girl who gave her daughter names she "just liked!", haha!)

  • Bennett- yes, it's trendy b/c it's a surname, but I can't help but like it. It's fussier than the others on your list, but I love Ben as a nn and it's not a bad name at all.

    Luke- love this name. I only know two kids named Luke. It's popular but it's classic and not super common. Solid name.

     Joseph- also a solid name, but there's nothing great about it to me. He'll end up being Joe and that's just blah.

     Daniel- Also good, and the family connecting is a plus. He'll be Dan or Danny most likely. I really like Danny, really dislike Dan.

     Maybe thinking about the nicknames (Ben, Joe, Dan/Danny) would help narrow it down for you?

  • I love Luke but i also really like sticking to family names, so if Daniel wasnt the first name id want it to be the middle name

  • I actually really like Bennet. I haven't ever met anyone with that name first, or last. 

    Next I like Luke, then Joseph, then Daniel.
