Definitely Kenneth
Benjamin is so over-used, but I adore it still...
But I really like Kenneth too, and I think it would be far more interesting and also kind of sound stronger than Benjamin. I think it'd make a great mn!

I prefer Kenneth over Benjamin, but I automatically think of the character from "South Park" when I hear Kenny. I prefer Kent as a NN.
Kenneth. Not a huge favorite, but I absolutely despise Benjamin and then nn Ben.
Benjamin
It's one of my favorites. Strong and classic = my fav kind of name!

I like Benjamin a lot. I do not know anybody named Benjamin, it is very rare here. Though I do not like the associations "Big Ben" and "Uncle Ben rice"...Ben is such a nice name!
So i'd go for Benajamin :))
I do not like Kenneth at all.

Kenneth!
I'm not a huge fan of Kenneth, but I'm sick and tired of Benjamin / Ben. Kenneth has a much stronger sound to it, IMO.
I like the nn Ken, and Kenny is a cute, quirky nn.
Plus, honoring is always great :)

Kenneth, hands down.
Benjamin, but
...that's only because I really dislike Ken/Kenny. Kenneth with no intended nickname would win over Benjamin/Ben.

Benjamin! But I'm biased. :)

It's got the Biblical pedigree and Kenny sounds cheap (if that makes sense). I really prefer it by a lot.
