Have they ended up being Ben amongst friends and family despite you calling them Benjamin?

I really like both, but partner not mad on Ben and thinks they will only ever get called Benjamin by the pair of us.

Or if not Ben, are there any other nicknames yours go by?

If you don't like Ben dont use Benjamin. You may not like Ben but he might well do.

Ours goes by Ben. My DD has a friend who goes by Benji.

I know many men and boys called Ben.
Sort of assume half of them are Benjamin and the other half Benedict, but I wouldn't know for sure as they are all called Ben.
