  I like Emmett and Bennett.  Xavier just doesn't do anything for me.  I don't like the X.

  Love Emmett.

   Bennett is alright but since I grew up with a lot of people with that last name I don't love it as a first name.

  Xavier is ok.

  Emmett is my fav out of those, but thats also a charactor in Twilight, so that knocks it down a little.

  Bennett is ok, sounds kinda yuppy-ish to me inmy mind.

  Xavier reminds me of Professor Xavier from Xmen- because I'm a big nerd.

  I love Xavier. I know it has a trendy X, but the name is really quite traditional. This is one of the few names my Dh and I agree on, actually. I like Bennett too, but Benjamin is by far my favorite "Ben" name.

  All are not bad, I do know two little boys named Bennett, if popularity is an issue. Emmett is nice, though I prefer Everett solely because of the Twilight craze with names. If it wasn't for that, I would love Emmett. Xavier, while not my style, is just fine too. Love that you aren't considering spelling it Zavier

  Of your list, I like Xavier best.

  I think that it has held its value over time better.  It's getting stronger in terms of popularity, but for good reason.  

  Emmett just doesn't do it for me because the girls' side of things is Em- CRAZY right now.

  Bennett is OK.  It's from the name Benedict, so if you're cool with that association (Pope AND Arnold), then perhaps this is the name for you.

  Of your list I like Bennett.

  Emmett reminds me of Twilight and Xavier is really common, but not in a good way where I`m from.

  I love Bennett!  Emmett is too Twilight for me, and Xavier is just ok.

  I like Bennett... Emmett is old man sounding to me...and I'm not a fan of Xavier. The "X" is just harsh looking to me.

  I love both Emmett and Bennett.  I know that people have pointed out the Twilight connection, but I wouldn't let that bother you.  Twilight is a flash in the pan craze.  Bennett is my favorite "Ben" name, I had it on our potential list, but my BIL had a son and named him Benjamin so it's out.  

  I want to like Xavier, there's nothing wrong with it, I'm just not liking it.  Especially with your daughter's name.

  LOVE Xavier. It's on my top 5 list for LO. I also really like Emmett- but my last name is Smith and I dislike that it only shortens to Em/Emmy. I like Bennett a lot too. Great choices imo.
