Ben gee? (as in gee up horsey)

It's what I call my ds Ben.

Aw Benji. I loved that cute little dog. Memories of Saturday mornings in the 80's eating my rice krispies.

It's the same name as Benjy.

Too dog like then?

Benji the little dog
Was class

Ben-gee. And I would think dog. A little dog at that. Smile

Ben gee
But its not really a name in its own right IMO, as a nn for Benjamin it's cute though.

As a nickname I think it's cute. Ds Ben is 23 but I still call him Benjy but not in front of his mates or work colleagues though.

How can there be more than one way to say it? Do you mean Ben-jai?

Ben-jee

DoubleGlazing · 04/04/2012 14:53

BEN-jee

OhChristHasRisenFENTON · 04/04/2012 14:56

Ben Gee

and yes, I'm afraid it does sound a little bit pet dog.

BackforGood · 04/04/2012 15:04

Not sure how anyone would say it other than Ben - gee (as in gee wizz).
Cute little dog's name.
For a child, hopefully only as a family nickname with Ben or Benjamin on the birth certificate. Smile

I wouldn't use it as a full name just a nick name from Ben. I just wanted to see you it was prounouced as I would spell ben gee like Benjy.

Ben-jee (as in beginning of jeans, pronounciation).

PinkPolkaDots · 05/04/2012 14:41

Ben gee.
My friends dog is called this, and it really suits him, but a guy I worked with had a son called that too. not short for anything, just Benji.
I do like it, but I think its a bit doggy-like

My Great Aunt had a poodle called Benji. Cute for a baby, not so cute for a 40 year old Lawyer or Refuse collector...
