Bennett
Bennett Origin and Meaning
Bennett, with its 'ett' ending, has a softer, more feminine feel compared to other Ben- names, making it a choice for parents of baby girls. The trend of using traditionally boy names for girls continues to grow, with Bennett gaining popularity in recent years. Alternate spellings include Bennette and Bennet.
Bennett's unisex appeal was highlighted when NFL player Jason Kelce and his wife, Kylie, chose Bennett Llewellyn for their daughter in 2023. Meanwhile, influencer Jaci Marie Smith named her daughter Benny in 2024, suggesting Ben- names might just catch on for girls.
Bennett with its modern feel and links to Pride and Prejudice (with the Bennet spelling) might appeal more to some parents than Bernadette or Benjamina - plus you've got the nickname options of Betty and Nettie too.
