Does this match with surname?

[pandaeyesandpuffyskin]

Benjamin.

Surname Jenkins. I'm thinking does "Ben..." "Jen.." sound odd?

And should I be worried about the initials?

Do we generally like the name Benjamin?

I used to know a Benjamin Jenkins at school. Afaik there were never any issues with his name or initials.

When I was a teen, I don't think I'd have known what a BJ was. I knew about fellatio.

I like it very much either as Ben Jenkins or Benjamin Jenkins.

No way. BJ is not great nor is the sound Ben Jen(kind).

I have a child with the initials BJ , well he doesn't actually, his actual name is W, but he only goes by B.

If teens want to take the piss, they will. I remember a boy with a girls name at school, who was a cool kid and no one took the piss, and someone with the totally innocuous surname Green, who was GreenisPenis all through school.

Very mixed responses I guess. Many thanks for your opinions everyone!

I went to school with a Ben Jennings, it was honestly fine and no one made the BJ link. One of my best friend’s is Benjamin James, again no one bothered about the BJ link.

If you can think of another name you both like then I'd personally avoid the bj initials but if you really can't find another one then it won't be the end of the world. I ruled out Benjamin because of my surname but it's such a silly surname I had to rule out quite a few names I liked. Thankfully we found one we loved. Good luck, this naming game isn't easy!

Ben Jen (kins) is a no No from me.

My friends as teens used to take the mick out of a teacher at school with the initials BJ
