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.

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.

Definitely Kenneth!!! I hate Benjamin, its way popular plus Kenneth nn Ken or Kenny would be refreshing today. Its kind of in the pool of Erics and Marks and Dales. People really dont use them a whole lot anymore.

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. Easily. Not only more uncommon than Benjamin, I like the way it looks more. (and it's my partner's name... so I'm a bit biased). :)

Kenneth, hands down.

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

Kenneth! Benjamin's been done to *death*, and honoring winsI'm sick of Benjamin. Seriously. There are enough Benjamins already!Candidly though, I'm not keen on the nn Kenny. I'd rather Ken or the whole Kenneth.But between Benjamin and Kenneth, it's Kenneth hands down.

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