I like Bennett Josiah but prefer Josiah Bennett

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

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.

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.

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

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!

Actually, I like Elliot Andrew the best.

They're all good names.

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

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

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

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. ;)

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.

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.

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

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.
