[SillyTillyBilly]

Which do you prefer? What do those names make you think of? Honest opinions apreciated.

Cheers

i porefer Benjamin

Benjamin

Benjamin

David is very depressing

IMO

Benjamin. David makes me think of politicians

Benjamin - lovely name

You must like the nn Ben though, cos he will get called that too

Benjamin - because I have one! Means favourite son

David is much much nicer.

Benjamin is a bit bland imo.

love, love, love Benjamin - it is top of my boy's list - as love Benji as nn

David is probably the least popular of the two, I'd imagine. But it does remind me of "Call me Dave" Cameron.

I tend to prefer Benedict to Benjamin.

You dont hear of many David's these days but Benjamin is very popular. I love Benjamin though I think it is a lovely name. I dont like David it is too old fashioned and boring in my opinion.

Benjamin.
I think David is bland/old.

Benjamin is MORE bland than David?

David is the most bland name there is!!

Everyone knows at least 5 Daves. Troof.

Neither would be on my list, but Benjamin is not not ever never going to end up being called that, is he? He is, inevitably, going to be Ben. Along with trillions of other Bens.
So, I'd opt for David, for that reason alone.
Although I do agree it's a bit politician/civil servant/schoolteacher/Uncle-ish.

In my Ben's school year there is only him, and only a couple of others in the school. Plus I think you need a name you can shorten or lengthen - Benjamin when being told off!

Benjamin is spoiled for me as I know two of them and they are both little horrors! However, if I put them out of my mind, I think I prefer Benjamin as a name to David. 'Tis very popular where we live, thouogh. There are six of them in the DSs Beaver group!!!

My dog's called Dave (grin)

My dog's called Dave that should do it!

David. It's a lovely currently underused name.

Benjamin is a verging on twee currently much over used name.

Shortening to 'Dave' is a worry though.

I like both. I would choose David myself because it's less popular at the moment.
