What about this for a no frills girls’ name?

Benett
Occasionally posters have asked about no frills name with some history to it and I’ve seen Bennett was quite popular in the late Middle Ages, presumably as a feminine version of Benjamin and Benedict.
I rather like it and it may suit parents who favour surnamey first names. (Though the surname Bennett would have been derived from the given name to start with!)

I don't like it, doesn't matter if it was popular 600 years ago, it sounds like a surname.

I like it, it has a nice sound to it.

I just think Gordon Bennett. Sorry.

No. Benita is nicer.

It sounds very masculine, like the American Surname type names which I generally like but not for a girl.

I automatically thought of that beautiful tragic little girl Jon-Benét but would you be pronouncing it as Benn et or Ben ay?

Sounds like a man's name.

I'm not a huge fan. I'd assume a Bennett was a boy. I have a soft spot for Benjamina though.

Same here!

I like it. Strong.

I would assume the child was a boy.

Sounds like a shoe shop.

I like it

First thought - JonBenét Ramsey

Second thought - way too masculine sounding

It's a surname now though, surely! Despite what it might or might not have been used as in the past, it's bloody awful as a girls name now ffs!

I agree. And not a nice boys name.

Sounds like a surname.

First thought Gordon , second thought Jon-Benet.

This

Love it.

I know two, spelled Bennett.

I'm in the US though, where naming of children is approached in a more free wheeling spirit than the UK.

I like it.

I also know a Campbell (girl). Yes, surnames, but they fit as girls' names.

I prefer benifer
