[Opinions] Re: WDYT of Benedict?
in reply to a message by tilltheend
Benedict is alright. I like Ben as a nickname for this over Benjamin. But Benedict Arnold feels like it should have a lot of associations. I don't really know my American history, but I think I've heard this name before. Besides the Pope, I mean. I'd change up the middle name.

Benedict Arnold is a famous traitor - he fought for the Americans during our Revolutionary War, but defected to the British. His story is still told today.
