to suggest that Ben is the most drippy mans name ever?

[TenaPenny]

its just so wet.

The most drippy mans name ever has to be the name Tim or Timothy, so in that respect yabu but Ben is next on the list

Adrian sounds like you need your adenoids out

I like the name Ben. Nigel, on the other hand, is wetter than a wet thing.

Surely Walter is the most pathetic - just one letter away from water. And wasn't he the softie in the Beano? It's so pfft that even with the resurgence in old man names it hasn't come back.

Benjamin doesn't sound very manly, true, but it's so popular I don't stop to think about the nature of the name in relation to any of the Bens I know.

DH is a Ben....so far from wet and drippy, it's not even funny!

He's a total alpha male, full of Jamaican pride, insanely beautiful as a prime specimen of a man, strong, athletic, and bows down to no one

But I suppose it's associations with things...it does seem to be a popular dogs name, which does kind of speak volumes about people's view on it

Colin is a wet drip of a name.

And who ever looked at their baby son and thought that Mervyn was a good name?

All male names with a v in are pathetic.

Vince
Kevin
Dave
Mervyn
Vernon
Alvin

Vince!

I had a boyfriend once called Nigel.

Not much romantic stuff can occur with a Nige.

It's a good name for a cat, though.

Hahaha I kind of like Vince, in a "thinks he's the man but he's not" endearing kind of way.

benny from abba isn't drippy, neither is ben fucking kingsley

oops sir ben

My DP is a Ben. He is Jewish and his mother chose it because of it's Hebrew origins. It means 'leader' in Hebrew so not really akin to the wet connotations you allude to.

Famous Bens who cannot be considered wet:

• Ben Kingsley
• Ben Afleck
• Ben E King

Its not 'it's'

Ben Dover? Porn star?

Ben Goldsmith looks like a drip.

Its the michael jackson song wot dun it

Noddy for YEARS I had no idea about that song, let alone it was about a pet rat!

There are WAY drippier names than Ben. Percevil/Percy is definitely more drippy. Also Cuthbert, and Cyril.

No-one's suggested Tyson yet.....

The truly wet ones are parents who shorten Robert, which is a perfectly reasonable name with perfectly acceptable NN of Rob or Bob, to Bertie

Ben's OK but a bit ubiquitous.

Oddly, I find Benjamin and Benjy unspeakably wet (I think it's the 'j') but not Benedict.

The only Tyson I can think of is Tyson Beckford. If he's drippy I'd happily let him drip on me.
