does the name have any negative connotations I should know about?

So sorry - my post from last night seemed a bit rude - you must have thought I was quite bonkers!

I meant to ask whether you had heard of any negative connotations and that's why you were concerned.

I think it is a great name.

I love it, it's my Ds's first name. Only problem we have had is when his teaching assistant calls him 'Benny'. Blardy annoying!!

We named our youngest Benjamin for his first name, which in my future DH's family is like a middle name as they all go by their Middle names.
It means 'son of the right hand' in Hebrew and is a very biblical name. One of the reasons we chose it was because he was delivered by Dad in the car, ergo the son of the right hand.

It's OK but I prefer just Ben.

um, just asking because I'm considering it as a middle name for this baby if it's a boy (don't know and won't know)

I had some vague idea that it had some biblical association with being the youngest of the family?? which would be quite appropriate as dh seems quite determined that there will be no more babies after this one!!
