[Opinions] Ben?
by Suzie (guest)

I have recently been loving the name Ben. Would you use Ben as a standalone name, would it have to have a longer name with Ben as a nickname? What are some longer names that could have Ben as a nickname. Would it go well with Paige and Emelia (Emma)?

There's always Benoit, pronounced Benwah-a popular name where I live, and the nick-name is always Ben.

I like Ben as a nickname, not as a full name. Benjamin goes well enough with Paige and Emma/Emelia. I prefer Ben as a nickname for Benedict.

I love it, but I would use it as a nn for either Benjamin or Benedict. It goes very well with those two names.

Ben goes wonderfully with Paige and Emma or Emelia. Wonderful set.
Bennett, Benvolio and Benjamin are names for which Ben could be nn. I think Ben is great as a standalone though.

I think Ben goes very nicely with Paige and Emelia. I like it best as a nn rather than a full name. Names I think Ben could work as a nn for: Benaiah, Benedict, Bennett, Benson, Bentley, Benton, Eben, Ebenezer, Esben, Gerben, Korben, Luben, Reuben, Torben. Of these, the full names that I think goes best with Paige and Emelia are Bennett and Reuben.Check Out Blinkyou.com for thousands of custom glitters and layouts

I like Benjamin and my brother and I grew up playing with two boys-Benjamin and Steven. He never got Ben, but Benny.
Ben alone is cute IMO.

I only know of Benjamin and Benedict with the nn Ben. I would never use it by itself but as a nn for Benjamin. I think it would also fir in pretty well with the 2 girl names.
