Sorry, I really should have put it in the original post. It's the Polish spelling. So I guess I'm just looking for opinions on Benedict/Benedykt

Oh sorry - is it a Polish spelling? I didn't realise - never seen it spelt like that before.

I read it as bendy kit. I'm not sure that's what you're going for.

Hate the spelling, sorry

Ah, if it's an alternative spelling in Poland then fair enough. I thought you had made it up, sorry.

It's a nice name but the spelling's a bit try hard and your child would have a lifetime of having to spell his name out or correcting spelling which would get irritating as everyone will assume it's Benedict.

BubsAndMoo · 23/08/2016 21:07

Please don't do that to a child

(assuming it is a made up spelling and doesn't have a cultural explanation)

ThoraGruntwhistle · 23/08/2016 21:06

Oh good lord no. Spelled normally it's quite nice though.

pennyunwise · 23/08/2016 21:04

Gmbk · 23/08/2016 21:04
