My son's name is Benjamin Edward (the name Edward has been in daddy's family for five generations, so it only made sense to carry it on). We named him that by default because it was the only name that was on my list and my husband's list of possible boy names. It was second on each list. I didn't think at the time about it being Biblical and meaning "son of my joy", but it turns out it was very appropriate since my first name is Joy. I like it because it's obviously masculine. It's a strong name that isn't too common, but isn't unusual either. It's a good solid name for a boy. I don't go for the nicknames, though. He is either Benjamin or Ben. I don't like Benji or any variation of Benny. He doesn't either, which I'm glad for. I've trained him right. lol

Ben or Benni or Benjamin are all awesome names. My boyfriend is called Benni, and he is the best. He is kind and loving and sweet and gorgeous, so, if you are looking for a name for the purrrrfect boy, this is definately the best name. Benjamin's are always gentlemen....

I have a 5 year old Benjamin and I love the name. He is a very cute and very sweet boy (and I know this because I have 2 other boys that haven't always been as sweet as my Benjamin!). The only thing that actually bugs me is that people assume that they can just call him Ben, although we always call him Benjamin, which is what he prefers. I now only name my children names that aren't easily nicknamed...

My son is Benjamin, Ben in normal conversation, Benj/Benji in frivolous conversation and BENJAMIN when he's been bad! Benjamin has several possible etymological meanings (though all are Hebrew after Biblical Jacobs 12th son). The most common interpretation is "Son of the Right Hand" and personally, I can't imagine a better person than a Ben to protect my right side! The name can also mean "Son of the South", referring to Rachel (Jacob's wife) birthing Ben in Canaan while their other sons were born in in Aram to the north. (Which suits, our Ben was born in Christchurch, New Zealand in the South Island, whilst our daughter was born in the North Island). Benjamin can also mean "son of my pain" referring to Rachel dieing in childbirth. Personally I don't like that interpretation. All-in-all, I love the name Benjamin as much as I love my son. We had several names "picked" before his birth, but when he popped out he was definately a Ben from minute 1.
