Benedict
my sister teases me for liking this name but I just love the classical feel to it. I picture a guy named Benedict to be very honest and genuine. Plus, it can be shortened to Beni which (in my opinion) is the sweetest nickname EVER!
This name comes from the Latin Benedictus, which means "blessed." As a name, Benedict has been most popular among Catholics, where it is used in honor of St. Benedict, who founded the Benedictine order of monks. In the USA, it is used very rarely as the name of Benedict Arnold, a continental army soldier who defected to the British side during the American Revolution, has become synonymous with "traitor."
