Benedict

[ack89]

Opinions on the name? I think it's lovely but my DH isn't a fan

I love the name! Very regal! What does your DH not like about it

I like it too.

But OP, if your DH doesn't it has to be off the table, doesn't it?

Love it. Timeless, classic and yet a bit funky.

Well his other son from a previous marriage is called Benjamin so he thinks it would get confusing! I just love the name so much though!

It's one of those names where you can be known as something ordinary like Ben but have a lovely full version. I know one who must be 40 now, nice chap (not the famous one)!

I like it.

Oh. No, you can't talk your H into having two sons called Benjamin and Benedict.

What about Dominic.

Love it.

Well your second post says why it should be No
2 sons called Ben

It’s a great name but I think you’re husband is right that his having two sons called Benjamin and Benedict would be confusing/a bit odd

Sorry x post

Dominic good alternative, as pp suggests

I love the name Benedict, but it would be absolutely ridiculous to have brothers called Benjamin and Benedict. I’m sure you can find another one that you like in the thousands of names available to use!

Bit of a drip feed there. No wonder your DH isn't keen.

Both are shortened to Ben. So no.

I love it. I really wanted it for DC3 but DH vetoed it.

Lovely name, but your DH can't have two Bens!

I see how it could be confusing but my DH never see's his other son as he lives in Australia so I didn't think it would be an issue. Maybe you're all right though

Surely you can see why this is a no go OP!

No, OP. Lovely name but you can't use it.

I know two Benedict’s and one Benjamin and their brothers are called Joseph, Elliot, William and Sebastian. Would any of those work for you?

Ahh, you didn't declare the Benjamin, that changes my vote to a no!

The son would get to hear though! The first son would be like

wtf

Oh come on OP, don’t be ridiculous.
