Any opinions on Benjamina? Considering adding it to our list.

I think Benji is a sweet nickname for a girl.

Dreadful, please don't inflict that on your child 😕

No.
It is too much a derivative of a male name. Like ‘Davida’.
Give your Dd a name in its own right.

Benji is cute for a little girl.

Benjamina is unusual but quite pretty actually. Like Georgina or Thomasina

Those sorts of names, like Thomasina, Wilhelmina etc always make me wonder whether the parents were secretly hoping for a boy

It’s strange, because I really dislike Thomasina/Wilhelmina, but really like Benjamina!

I really don't like Benjamina, it's too much.

A possible suggestion, and I can't say it's a name I like, but I know a couple of Bernadettes who go by Ben and were occasionally Benji in childhood.

Don't do it.
