Comments for the name Benji

The guitar player from the band Good Charlotte bears the name Benji (it is short for Benjamin).

Benji was a little mutt dog of children's books and film.

I've seen Benji spelled with an "e" at the end: Benjie (and I don't think it looks very good).

Benji is a really cute nickname for Benjamin.

Benji is one of the vampires in Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. He is a young boy made into a vampire by Marius.

Benji is the nickname of the bass player in In the Back Seat.

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!

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

Benji Schwimmer won So You Think You Can Dance.

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

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

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 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.
