I don't know what sex my baby is and we are REALLY struggling with a boys name!!

I think Benjamin is ok- but would call them benny (from one of my favourite books 'her benny')- what do you think?

Any other suggestions? I LOVE
Joseph but my BIL beat me to it.

I like Benjamin but I’m yet to meet one who isn’t Ben. I went to school with a fair few and they were all Ben. I don’t think Benny would stick in all honesty.

I have a Benjamin and we call him benji. He is only a baby though so this may change when he is older. I have never heard Benny for Benjamin tbh.

My son is Benny! That's what is on his birth certificate too. We shorten it to Ben sometimes, but I still love Benny. Not everyone's cup of tea, but hey ho. Go with whatever you like xx
