      My pet theory is that Ben Solo is actually named after Ben Ford, Harrison Ford's actual son, and not Ben Kenobi, who had no connection to him, little connection to either of his parents, and wasn't even his real name anyways

      The only explanation I can come up with for "Ben" is that Leia and Han let Luke choose the baby's name. Luke not only knew Obi-Wan, but was the only person who called him "Ben" consistently. He's the only one who would name a child that.

      Leia did very much respect Kenobi but she knew him as Obi-Wan

      The implication I take from her message, though, is that she had never met him - and never really did, since he died during the rescue. So it would be weird for her to name her child after him either way.

      Yeah I always thought she only knew him by reputation.

      Replying to @FroyoBaggins @NussbaumAbigail @BootlegGirl

      Since he's been in hiding since she was born, it would be very weird if she knew him in person. But he was very important to her rescue, so she might have wanted to name her child in honour of him, but 'obi-wan' was too on the nose?

      I mean obviously out of universe it was the only available "legacy" name that people could be sure to recognize that wasn't Anakin, which would have been WAY too on the nose

      also, people would have had way more expectations that things would follow the old EU, and gotten proportionally angrier when they didn't, if he'd been Jacen, Jaina or Anakin Bail would have been appropriate though

      Right, Bail makes the most sense, but probably more than fifty percent of viewers wouldn't have caught the reference

      I also think they wanted a name that didn't sound too weird to viewers. Single syllable, close or identical to a Western name. That's been pretty consistent across main characters in these movies.

      Even in-universe, the whole idea of Obi-Wan changing his name seems to be that in their world "Ben" is a more common, less noticeable name
