Have they ended up being Ben amongst friends and family despite you calling them Benjamin?

I really like both, but partner not mad on Ben and thinks they will only ever get called Benjamin by the pair of us.

Or if not Ben, are there any other nicknames yours go by?

I have a Benjamin, and people do say ben.

We had a card congratulating us on the birth of Beneejam so he is Beneejam a lot of the time now, even though he is approaching two 😂

Benj or Benja

my brother is a Benjamin but from day one,he’s a Ben
same with my other brothers-Samuel and Thomas-both are Sam and tom-and have been from the minute they where born
the long versions of their names are for the birth certificate and other legal documents

I have a Ben. He is Ben on his birth certificate not Benjamin. People want to lengthen it to Benjamin.
