Baby Names

Why can't I just pick a boy name!? Down to 2...

We are down to Daniel and Bennett. Did you just know the name you wanted or is it really this hard? We didn't have a name for DD...2 weeks before she was born I told DH he was picking the name, so he told me the day she was born. I really WANT a name right now, but I just can't commit! I love Daniel, but realize its popular. It's also classic though. And Bennett...I love this name despite its surname trend. This keeps me up at night because I'm afraid I'll make the wrong choice. I actually have some regrets w DDs name (Adrianna), but I love that DH picked it.

  • What about Daniel Bennett?  I really love both names.  I prefer classic so personally I would use Daniel as first name and Bennett as mn.  I say go with your gut.  We had a few names for DD, but the name we picked was always the front runner.  She arrived 11 weeks early so we had to pick something sooner rather than later and it fits her so perfectly and I am so glad we went with our guy.  FWIW Adrianna is a beautiful name too!

  • I think it will be Daniel Joseph or Bennett Daniel. My husbands top is Bennett and mine is Daniel. Ugh. I love Adrianna, but I honestly wish I'd just stuck w Audrey. It had been THE name I wanted since I was younger and then the popularity thing ruined it for me. :/

    I really like Daniel Bennett or Bennett Daniel. If it's the name YOU like it, who cares about trends

    This!  Good luck!

     

  • I am a teacher and have never taught a Daniel and don't know of any coming down the pike.  I like Daniel Bennett as a name over Daniel Joseph.  Since DH chose DD's name I say go with Daniel.

    FWIW, we too are having a really hard time choosing a boy name too!!!

    I'd pick Daniel over Bennet.  Daniel is classic.  Bennet is trendy.  I always will pick classic over trendy.

  • Forget about the whole popularity thing and just go with the name you like the most and can see yourself calling LO.
