Benjamin or Stanley?

[bathmode]

Benji or Stan when shortened.

Middle name George.

I voted for Stanley/Stan. Stan is quite cool.

I don't mind Benjamin/Ben but really not keen on Benji (for a human, I know quite a few dogs with this name I'm afraid).

Benjamin but not Benji because he’s not a dog.

Ooh, 50/50! 😅

Benjamin is lovely.

Those are both great names, but very different, in my opinion!

I voted for Benjamin.

My dogs a stanley though 😂

Love the name Benjamin and really don't like Stanley so would go Benjamin/Benji/Ben

I absolutely wish my son was Stan (ley) as it was my grandads name but was persuaded out of it .. post partum .. today without the post birth hormones nothing would have sold me off ..

Benjamin in its entirety. By a mile.

They are both great names but I like Benjamin better.

Stanley

Benjamin
Stanley is an ugly name

Ben is a brilliant name, I think Stanley is cute on a little boy, but I'm not sure how it will age...

Like them both, but prefer Benjamin.

Benjamin 100%

Benjamin for sure! I don’t mind Stanley but I feel like it’s currently a bit on trend. Benjamin is much more timeless and will age well.

Benjamin/Benji for sure! That's one of my top boy names and would definitely use Benji as a nickname. I've never met a dog called Benji so I wouldn't worry about that, but even so my DD1 happens to have the same name as my friends cat, so who cares if an animal also happens to have the same name 🤣 if you like it that's all that matters!

Not Stanley. Old man’s name

Stanley sounds better with George but I voted Benjamin because to me it's a nicer name.

Thanks all!

For me Benjamin is now forever ruined by Netanjahu but I dont think many would care.

The cleverest person I've ever know was called Stanley, coincidentally he was an expert on (amongst many other things) Walter Benjamin. He was also a lovely human being.

I named our cat after him.

I know what you mean, but they will be an old man at some point.

If you go for Benjamin use Ben not Benji.

Benjamin / Ben great
Benji : twee, cringe and for pets

I like Ben/Benjamin. Not Benji.
Stanley I'd quite nice too.
