[Opinions] Re: Benjamin, Bennett, or Benedict? (m)
in reply to a message by Billina
Bennett
I'd say it's the one I dislike the least rather than like the most.
Benjamin is too common for me, I grew up with so many and although most of them were alright people, they're are just way too many associations.
I really don't like the 'dict' sound at the end of Benedict, it puts me off the name despite Benedict Cumberbatch doing somewhat good things!
That leaves Bennett, which I never liked as much as Beckett or other surname-names but I heard it recently on a child of around 6 and it sounds just fine being called across a waiting room. I think sometimes it helps to hear the name be used and out of the three it's the one I would rather be calling out.
