Do you know any Benedict's?

[Christmasfatpants]

I love love love this name, dsis thinks is a bit aspirational and used either by posh or wannabe posh? Does this fit with those you know?

Yes he's 13. Strict Catholics.

I went to primary school with a Benedict. Catholic, but working-class! It's a lovely name but I'd be surprised if a little Benedict wasn't from a Catholic family.

My godson (5) is Benedict, Catholic and fairly 'posh' family. Never shortened.
Know of a 2 year old Benedict who is known as Ned.

I know a Benedick. That is proper posh.

I know two, both religious families, one catholic, one vvvv not. Both now aged 10+ so not babies. Both Ben to family.

I know two, both mid twenties. Not aspirational posh, but firm old money posh.

I know one 15 yo one - mc but not religious at all just used as an alternative to Benjamin (parents felt it was less 'common' than Benjamin ).
But always, always known as Ben

Punctuation lesson:

Benedict's = possessive (eg: Benedict's hat)
Benedicts = plural.

Oh do one mrsgumpy. Patronising and unnecessary. Anyone can make a typo.

I love Benjamin, it is super cute in my head but also associated with distinguished people in the past. Benedict is more formal.
