Help[Opinions] Thoughts on Benedict
Firsts of all and most importantly, he detests being called 'Ben': He was raised to think it's a plebian name. He's got three insufferable sisters, Sophia, Rosemary and Julia, who get into his business, Dad is Jasper and a total womaniser, Mom is Antonia, and she's a perfectionist, what else do you expect of a world renowned cellist?
Benedict is friends with Ronaldo 'Ronnie' Roma, Edmund 'Ed' Curran, Rolph Dahlstrom, Fletcher Thorne & Maria Matthews (they all attended the same exclusive Swiss boarding school). Benedict is champion archer and flautist (To mom's horror, the flute, really?),and he's amazing at it, even though he doesn't brag. He also runs an international chain of nightclubs named Hush.
**** Thoughts? like Benedict'Not Ben'?
Substitute Benedict and other names for ones you prefer.

Well, it reminds me of Benedict Arnold, eggs benedict, Benedict Cumberbatch, the NN Ben, 'benedictine' (Saint Benedict), and 'strict'.
So, like, what do you get when you add together: American Revolutionary War history, one of my favorite breakfast foods, the star of one of the only TV shows I bother to watch, one of my favorite common nicknames, monasteries (where some great herbal liquers are made), the patron saint of students (brother of Scholastica), and uncompromising adherence to principles? Someone I want to meet.
I'd say it's a bit too straitlaced for me to consider using myself, though. I probably get that impression from the 'edict' part + the 18th century association.
