Do you like the name 'Ben', but want more options? Here are 10 names with 'Ben' in them you can use for your little one:
Benedict This late Latin name means "blessed" and is most popularly known from the 6th century Italian monk Saint Benedict or from the American general Benedict Arnold, who defected to the British side allegedly for love. This name hasn't yet seen its comeback, remaining unranked since 1969. Perhaps with the well-known actor, Benedict Cumberbatch, bearing this name it may see a resurgence in the years to come. Growth #8
Benek A refreshing and stylish Polish variation of the name 'Bernard', meaning "strong" or "brave as a bear", this name has never ranked in the United States. Growth #1
Benjamin This popular name is of Hebrew origin, meaning "son of the right hand". Statistics indicate this name just doesn't go out of style. Sitting in the Top 50 in the late 1800's, the furthest this has ever dropped in rankings was to #155 in 1960. As of 2017, Benjamin ranked at #6, placing it solidly in the group of America's most popular boy's names. Growth #5
Benji A diminutive of the name 'Benjamin', this cute-but-solid name also means "blessed". It has only ever ranked in the US between the years 1975 and 1977, at #621, #852, and #937, respectively. Growth #22
Bennett This is a medieval form of the name 'Benedict', meaning "blessed". Though known as a last name, this has been consistently used a first name, as well, since recordings began in the US in 1880. In 2017, this name ranked at #123, making it a relatively well-known name. Growth #8
Benoit The French variation of the name 'Benedict', this name also means "blessed". While this has enjoyed popularity and longevity in France, Benoit has never ranked in the US. Growth #11
Bentley Of Old English origin, this name was originally a last name from words meaning "bent grass" and "woodland/clearing". As a first name, it has only recently sprung into the rankings, making the Top 100 in 2010-2016. In 2017, it narrowly missed at #102, still remaining relatively popular. Growth #11
Benson This is another name that derives its origin from the name 'Benedict', meaning "blessed". It has sporadically appeared in the US rankings throughout the last century and a half, with some consistency seen only beginning in 2010. Even so, this remains an unusual name, ranking at #474 in 2017. Growth #6
Bent This is a Danish and Frisian variation on the name 'Benedict', again meaning "blessed". This is a rare name to come across in the US, remaining out of the Top 1000. Growth #5
Benvolio This name, perhaps, is best known as a character in Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet". Stemming from the word, 'benevolent', this name means "good-wisher" or "having the disposition to do good". It hasn't caught on in the US, yet makes a great name- especially for the literary-minded.
