Personal experiences with the name Bennet

My son, born in 2001, is named Bennet. We chose it because we were looking for an alternative to Benjamin. Bennet is a bright, outgoing, creative, and popular kid, and many people comment on how much they like his name. We often call him 'Benny' or 'Benny-Boy' as an affectionate nickname, and his friends sometimes call him Ben. Sometimes people accidentally spell his name with two T's, but it doesn't bother him.
