What do you mean boy or girl?? BOY of course. I like it. Bennett with two t's.
Gotta say though, I like Beckett better.

Definitely all boy! I don't really like it because of the expression "Gordon Bennett!" - although I'm pretty sure that's just a British thing and pretty dated so there probably wouldn't be a problem for most.I would spell it with 2 Ts

Funny you ask for a boy or girl because I would have said boy, of course, I've never heard of it on a girl. Ridiculous thought!But on Hell's Kitchen last week there was a high school girl named Bennett. I'll admit I kind of liked it. It makes for a very snappy, peppy name for a girl.But really, I do much prefer it for a boy. I like it, it has Ben in it, so it feels so warm and hugable. But it has a more modern edge.

I like it for a boy. It's 100% boy, not girly at all at all. It has a nice meaning.Bennett. Bennet looks incomplete and unbalanced to me.

I can see it as both a boy and a girl's name, but I would only use it as a boy's name.

It's all Pride and Prejudice to me. Male, with the latter spelling.

I prefer Bennett.
I think it works more easily for a boy's name due to the obvious nn Ben but I think it could work nicely for the right girl character
