Comments for the name Benito

In Italy, this name is considered virtually equivalent to Adolph.

I don't live in Mexico, but my parents' descent from there and Benito Juarez has always been spoken of in a very honorable way.

Benito sounds like a gay Italian Frenchman in very tight tights.

Even though I'm part Italian, I don't find this name offensive or anywhere near as bad as Adolf. I associate it more with Benito Juarez than Benito Mussolini. I still wouldn't use it on a non-Spanish child, though.

Not really a "famous" person, but one of Olive Garden's food mascots on the kids' menu is called "Benito" and he's a bread stick. X)
