I like Bennett Josiah but prefer Josiah Bennett

[solyma.livejournal.com]

thanks! i do think josiah bennett is a nice combination, also.

Ethan and Elliot are becoming far too popular. Bennett is refreshing :)

i'm deeply saddened by the popularity of ethan, since i've loved it since i was 6! i'm still determined to use it, though. but thanks! i really like bennett. :)

LOVE Ethan Andrew. my bf's name is Andrew & we've never really considered passing his name down, since he is so set on Ian *pukes* as a first name for a son. There is no way this is going to happen, ever ever ever. i woner if he likes that combo...hmm lol

[solyma.livejournal.com]

haha i'm so glad you like it! and i think ian andrew is a great name, too! that's funny you don't like ian, but you like ethan... they're so similar! :) but maybe since they're similar, he'll go for ethan ;D

I think I'd prefer Andrew Laurence.

Ethan Andrew sounds a bit too much like Ethan Allen -- and the problem is that it makes people think of the furniture store, not the person.

[solyma.livejournal.com]

it doesn't remind me of ethan allen at all, that's funny! i'm not sure how i feel about andrew laurence, because i don't want to use andrew as a first name. but it does flow pretty well. thank you!

I WISH I liked Bennett, as its my maiden name and I didn't keep it as my middle name. I am the last Bennett (unless my dad's new stepchildren take his name and have kids, which is unlikely) in my family and I really want to honor the name. I just hate the way it sounds. :/

I love Ethan Andrew, though it sounds pretty trendy. Laurence is a great mn.

[solyma.livejournal.com]

it really is too bad you don't like bennett! i think it's such a great name, and i love the nickname ben. i'm huge on hebrew names and it means "son" in hebrew which i just think is so neato. :)

i LOVE ethan, but i'm not big on andrew. i still voted for it, though because i don't like bennett and i like ethan better than elliot. ethan andrew just makes me think of the paint company - ethan allen i think? i don't know. maybe a middle name that doesn't start with an a or an e sound would work better.

ethan josiah
ethan bennett
ethan laurence

[solyma.livejournal.com]

really? ethan andrew doesn't remind me of ethan allen at all! that's funny. i can see what you're saying, though. ethan laurence is also a good combination, thanks!

[oh-snitch.livejournal.com]

Actually, I like Elliot Andrew the best.

They're all good names.

[solyma.livejournal.com]

looove your icon! :) and thanks so much for your input.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

i voted for ethan andrew because i like the combo the best. i like beckett and elliot better as first names though.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

whoops i just realized that says bennett, not beckett. im not a big fan of bennett, but still adore elliot.

[solyma.livejournal.com]

i think ethan andrew is my favorite combo too, although i love all the names. thanks for your input! beckett is a good name, too. ;)

[sotypical42483.livejournal.com]

I picked Elliot. Ethan seems kinda trendy and overdone to me and wtf is a Bennett? Sounds like a surname, I don't like it at all.

[solyma.livejournal.com]

i love your icon! :) bennett is a last name, but also a legitimate first name (much like elliot!). in fact, it was #395 in the top 1000 boy names for 2005. :) i tend to like more "formal" sounding, last name-ish names for boys for some reason. i also don't have a problem using last names as first names, as that's a little tradition in my family. :) it is really unfortunate that ethan is so popular, but i am dead set to use it! it's the first name i fell in love with, and i was 6 years old at that, haha.

[sherball.livejournal.com]

while I love the name ethan.. I don't like it matched with andrew.. just brings to mind the store, 'Ethan Allen'. I can't seem to get that connection out of my brain. But since it's just a middle name, and most people woujldn't be using it.. I think it's a decent combo...heh

[sayga.livejournal.com]

love Bennett. it's a great name and does'nt even seem popular to me. what about lawrence bennett (or reversed)?

the only combo up there i don't favor is ethan andrew, because it sounds like ethan allen. even then, it's not BAD.
