Is Benedick usable?

[Fideliney]

DH thinks the ending is problematic but I like the Shakespearean reference.

Koala you absolutely are not the only one. Never seen it!

No koala. I think he's got funny eyes.

Are we the only two?

Koala, no you're deffo not. He's got sheep's eyes!

I have a cousin Benadick, all his sibs have Shakespearian names too.

He goes by Ben these days I think...

Oh and Benedict Cumberbatch looks like a weird otter person: FACT

There's Bendix as well, which is used in Germany.

I thought Bendix was a brand of dishwasher (probably German?)

I think it is but I've heard it as a name too. I think there's a character in Thomas Mann's Buddenbrooks called Bendix.

Benny's what now?

Bendicks are mints

Being named for after dinner mints is seeming preferable to being named for an ubiquitous actor with alien cheekbones TBF.

Or maybe Bennett

No you're not, Koala.

What's wrong with Benjamin?

Too biblical Sign

...and I don't like the 'ja' sound

Oh, you devil worshippers and your picky names rules...

NO.

Barnabas? Barney is cute.

It is lovely. I have a very good friend called Benedick.

Don't do it to your child;-) your HB is totaly right!

Nooooo op! Nooooo!

Bennett is ok bit very much a surname, to my mind anyway.

Is it a B name you want?

TY telsa.

I am still loving Benedick, I have to say.

Maybe the feeling will wear off?

Bennett was DH's suggestion. I'm not really feeling it. I'm not sure he is either TBH.

I particularly like Benedick but I also like the diminutive Ben.

I actually really like Barnaby/ Barnabas although not my normal style.

Completely jumping the gun as only at the TTC/2WW stage, but the idle Benedick conversation turned into a stand-oof in record time so I decided to canvass some opinio

Well, my friend often goes by the name of Ben, but gleefully corrects people who assume he is Benjamin, by saying Benedick, actually, from 12th Night.

Just a bit problematic. that you needed to ask.

Doesn't the dog who texts have a friend called Benedick?
