While preferring Benedict, I like it as an alternative to Benedict, a quite obvious secular form of Hebrew "Baruch", the name of the prophet Jeremiah's scribe.

I had no idea Bennett was even used on girls until today. Sounds borderline awful to be honest. To each their own.
With that being said, this name is very surname-y, and I usually only hear it as a surname or a middle name, but it’s not bad or anything. Quite handsome actually. Lovely meaning.

I first learned of the name Bennett when I read about it in the original “Freakonomics” book by Dubner and Levitt, around 2005-2006. I went on to name my son this in mid 2007. The authors predicted that the name would take off and it seems that they were correct. 12 years later, we’ve been very happy with this name selection and it fits our son. He typically goes by his full name, Bennett, or occasionally, Ben.

Bennett is such a great boy name!
It blows my mind people would think that this is good to use on girls.

For a girl- I love it! For a boy- don’t like it at all. Way toooo feminine! All males should have strong names while all females should have all kinds of names! Girls rule! Tee hee!

I like this name, so we gave it to our cat. Bennett D'Angelo (yes, he has a middle name, because I just like names). Anyway, he's a brat, so he got the nickname Benito when we discovered that was Mussolini's first name. He mostly goes by Ben or Benny though.

I prefer Benjamin, but this is ok. It's a little too surname-y, but that's probably why it's risen all the way to #202.

I know a boy named Bennett. Pretty much everyone but me calls him Ben, but I love saying his full name, so I swap the two regularly. Maybe it's because the Bennett I know is so fun and intelligent - but I really like this name.
