I love love love this name, dsis thinks is a bit aspirational and used either by posh or wannabe posh? Does this fit with those you know?

Yes, I know one. Super dooper posh.

Think it would sound weird if it was used on a normal person iyswim.

And the mints, of course!

One, about 2 1/2. Love the name. Works on the boy. Not religious, just MC ...!

Yes, two-middle class parents but not up themselves or pretentious. Only calked benedict when they've been naughty! Ben otherwise.

Retired headmaster, lovely bloke.

One in RL.

Very high church, smells and bells type.

I would expect quite religious Christian parents, but not necessarily that type.

Benedict's what?

No I don't. I like it though.
