name question

would you avoid the name Benjamin Joseph because of the initials?

 one of our front runner names.  my sister insists kids will make fun of him, I say he won't exactly be wearing a sign with his full name, so most won't know. plus, kids always find something to make fun of each other about. 

(I think she's just trying to save Benjamin for herself!)

    I was friends with two or three "BJ's" growing up. It took years before anyone noticed the connection and I'm pretty sure someones older brother pointed it out. He didn't change his name and the few stupid kids got over it pretty quickly. I really wouldn't worry about it. And too bad if she wants the name you beat her to it :)

    On a slightly different note that's a great, strong name!

    I think it's okay. I personally wouldn't do it. Any chance of changing the mn? If you really love it then do it.

    I'd gladly call a boy that. Just don't use the MN. Granted, I also love the nickname Benji for a little boy and Ben as an older child.

    My super all about me birth story:
    Then: Fraternal twins born at 26 weeks in 1983. Me: 640 grams. Brother: 840 grams. Family kept watch in the NICU for 5 months before being allowed to go home. On oxygen for a year and a half after being released.
    Now: Me: PhD student and married. Brother: Lawyer and married.
    Dad's wedding speech: Thank you to all the family who stood watch and prayed for our children's survival. Well now the little scrawny chicken is married. Who would've thought? (Thanks dad for making me laugh and cry at the same time).
