I know a lot of Bens, and I will say that'some are pretty nice. But I also know a Ben who is not nice, and his relative badness brings down the average. Sorry to Bens everywhere.

Popular name. I know (of) lots of Bens or Benjamins (I like the longer version better) and most of them are young so I guess this name must have been quite trendy at some time.
