A brother for John-Paul called Benedict? Too 'popey'?!

My sister said "what would be next, Francis?".

Point taken so, I like Benjamin, Stephen and...Innocent (but again I know, too popey!).

Any other suggestions? John-Paul, Charlotte and...?

Bernard instead of Benadict, bit Popey

Could be shortened to Ben

Well, they are very popey. John-Paul in particular.

But if that doesn't bother you, then don't let what anyone else thinks about it bother you either.

Benedict is a lovely name (and I am in no way biased by the awesome Cumberbatch. OK, maybe that bit is a lie.)

I think Benedict and John-Paul are too popey. Benedict on its own wouldn't make me think it, it's John-Paul that's the obvious one, but together it looks like a theme.

I like Matthew and Stephen. Or Pius Grin.

I like and they are memorable. Grin

I like Benedict. I thought Cumberbatch before the Pope...

Benjamin goes too, but you could pick anything and it could be the name of the next Pope (well, unless you go for a female name, I suppose...)

Go for Benedict if you like it. Just maybe rethink Francis, if it comes to that Wink
