Benji

It could work for Spanish too.

My dog's name is Benji and he looks just like the dog in Lady and the Tramp! (the mutt, not Lady) I don't know about naming a kid this but...

It's a dog's name.

Not a terrible nickname for a young child called Benjamin, but too childish to be a stand-alone name.

Hate it! Benji sounds childish and not professional. Ben is 10 times better.

Ugh, I can only think of that Benji dog movie from the early 2000s. Benji...Off the Leash!

My name is Benjamin and I get annoyed when people start calling me this. Howeverrrr, I like the sound of it but it would have to be on someone else, :)

The only reason why I don’t like this name is because of Benji Krol. Otherwise, the name itself is good.

I like this name as a legal name, actually! Although, Benjamin as the legal name makes sense. No shame in using it! :)

This is a cute nickname for Benjamin! However, its spelling reminds me of Beijing, China's capital city.

This name is only acceptable to me as a nickname for Ben, Benjamin or as a dog's name. I wouldn't ever use this name on it's own unless for a pet.

Aww, this is a adorable nickname for Benjamin! ^___^ I'm dying of cuteness overload! ^______^

I didn't realize this was a short form of 'Benjamin'. I figured it was an import for the longest time. I guess it's a fun nickname.

Although I would not name my son Benji, I would name him Benjamin and call him Benji as a nickname. I think it's super cute! But not so much as an adult name.

I quite like this nickname. Sounds cute. But, when I think of Benji now, it reminds me of a Australian criminal, Andrew "Benji" Veniamin.

It doesn't sound too masculine, too much of a baby name.

This is a name for kids and dumb frat boys. A man with this name would never be taken seriously.

I have to agree with the other poster that Benji sounds like a small yappy dog. I just don't like this name.

To me, at least, the nickname Benji evokes an image of a cute little freckly five-year-old covered in mud. The nice thing about the name Benjamin is that it's rather versatile. Benji when you're younger, Ben when you're older.

I really think Benji is an awful name - It makes me think of a small yappy dog, not a human being. Ben is much better!

Benji is a really cute nickname for Benjamin.
