Benedict

[peppapig3]

I forgot to add this to my list of boy's name (or added too late in the day). If anyone has a spare minute, what do you think of this?

lovely but very catholic

Don't like it.

Prefer Benjamin but not by much. Don't go a bundle on Ben either.

I like it. Can be shortened to Ben or Ned, both of which are lovely, but I think it is nice used in its entirety.

And there aren't many about. (At least not round here, anyway.)

Love it, cute with lovely nn, but also a very dignified full name.
really love it actually!

I love it too.

I absolutely love it, it is one of my favourite names (but doesn't go with our surname, makes you sound like a geiger counter if you try and say them together.)

It's gorgeous, I can imagine anyone with this name being mega handsome .

undecided. Too much of a hint of eggs but otherwise it would be nice.

I really like it.

More unusual than Benjamin but not too wacky.

Was on our list but we had girls

I love it - not Trying Too Hard, but still slightly unusual.

(Can I suggest that if you do shorten it to Ned that you never, ever move north of the border? Ned is slang, short for Non Educated Deliquent - picture a thug in white nylon tracksuit swigging from a bottle of Buckfast)

I like Benedicit, but I really don't like Ben because it is so common...

Have said this before, but it was taken off our list when a friend begged us not to as he had lived through the hell of being called 'Bendy Dick' all through his secondary sch years!

I like it.

I love it but I shagged some lad called it when I was in my 20's and he was a knob so it put me off .

I really like it too - but I know 2 under 5!
And I hadn't thought about Ned for short - that's my current fave.

Argh, why did my friend have to get there before me??!

lovely

I miscarried a baby who would have been Benedict - DS3 has it as his second name. It is truly a great name [smiel]

Yes, it's a lovely name.

I like Ned as nn- hadn't though of that and we are nearly on the S Coast so prob okay here!!

We nearly had a Benedict/Ned, but went for something else in the end. I love the name, but always go off it when I am pregnant, so have never actually used it!

Nephew calls the pope Mr Bendy Dick, so unfortunately it may be a common nick name.

I have always secretly loved the name Benedick - as in the fabulous Shakespearean character from Much Ado About Nothing. But would never use it as it is even worse for the Bendy Dick problem!

That's a real shame about the nick name because otherwise it's lovely name.
