I love Benjamin, always have. My best friend in Oklahoma's oldest boy is named Benjamin, he's nine and is a very nice kid. He goes by Ben, and that's the nn I'd use. Benji/Benjy (I seem to recall the main caracter's name?) is sickly-cutesy and sounds like a dog's name.

BTW: I had to read some Faulkner for school and I hated him too. He's the only writer I know of who can make a story about a bear-hunt into a huge, crashing bore.
