One name on our list for DS #2 is Benjamin. I like Benjamin. For a nickname Ben is okay. I do NOT like Benji. I've been trying to think of other nns for Banjamin. Anyone have ideas/suggestions?

My BIL is named Benjamin, but 99% of the time he goes by Ben. Our family calls him Benny or Benji only when we are being playful/teasing him. No one else calls him that ever. Great name choice! It would be on my list if my BIL wasn't already named that.
My husband is Benjamin- he goes by that or Ben. His grandfather is also Benjamin and goes by Benny.
I don't think Benji is really common enough of a nn for Benjamin that you'll have a hard time discouraging people from using it, especially if you don't start it.
My older brother is Benjamin, and his nicknames have changed a lot over the years. The one I always liked was B. Just B. Obviously short, but it is really catchy.

Ben is nice.
If someone calls him Benji, just nicely but firmly say "Oh, he goes by Ben". Or Benjamin or whatever you are calling him.
