Then I met my husband and discovered that his great grandfather’s name was Benton. I love a good honor name and couldn’t pass it up. I love that Benton is unusual while feeling familiar. Reply Colleen Fitzgerald Apr 8 at 8:12 am Benton is my mother in law’s maiden name and she is the last remaining family member of that lineage. I love the name because it follows the pattern of my nephews, Hudson and Weston. We call him Ben or Benny for short. I’m also a big fan of the song Benny and the Jets! Reply Leah Mar 27 at 9:42 am Our kiddos are all B names so we knew we wanted to follow that route. Benton sounds unique and different but not too out there or hard to pronounce etc. It’d a name he can grow with and we can call him Benny!
