[Opinions] Re: Benedict?
in reply to a message by CN
It's growing on me steadily, to the point where I'm considering promoting it from MN to FN favoured status. I think a lot of that's down to BtN, as a number of posters I like and respect are rather vocal in their love for Benedict (see below) :p
Associations-wise, the current Pope is a slight negative (I disagree with the Catholic Church's position on a number of things anyway, and His Holiness Benedict XVI has tended to take more conservative stances on them than his predecessor). However, this is more than outweighed by Benedict's being the closest non-innuendo alternative to Benedick, the moniker of one of the best, brightest and funniest Shakespeare characters :D
Bic reminds me of the brand of biro.
