A Take On The Name Benedict
With Pope Benedict due to retire, there is this piece on the name Benedict on the BBC’s web site.
It gives a fascinating insight into the psychology of having an unusual name.
I don’t think C and myself, would have used the name for any of our children and even any of future ones we didn’t have.
To return to the author of the article, Benedict Milne. I bet having the name Benedict has got him through the door at either a good university or in a good job. One of my sons has a famous combination of names and he is immensely proud of them and they got him one of the best jobs in London.
I’ve just checked and benedictmilne.com is available. So he can even be his own dot com. Having that as I do, is a great advantage, as you only have to give your name once to also give the e-mail address.
The Anonymous Widower 
Unusual, no . . . I am rather fond of Benedictine . . .
I have had many an ejoyable evening, talking of cabbages & kings . . . with a Benedictine in hand . . .

Not me! The only spirit or liqueur I drink, is the odd tipple of Scotch or Irish whisky.
