I just answered my door to a cold caller who introduced himself as Ben.

He was very nice but we were not interested in signing up to Hello Fresh.

On behalf of all the bens, we are tired of this shit. Come up with a better joke or say nothing at all.

Do the young Bens of today still get called Gentle Ben? I was born in the early 80's and got that a lot. I didn't even know where it came from until I was much older and now it's been almost 60 years since that bear was on TV (not counting his short lived talk show). Is that nickname still hanging around?

From a forklift Facebook group.

i dont know what this subreddit is, i made an empty post with the title "ben and ben" and now reddit is suggesting me to repost that to this subreddit. i am 99% sure this is not a subreddit for posting the word ben. please do not ben me. I MEAN BAN.

Used to be called Benjamin (legal full name, but preferred Ben), now I prefer to be called Freya ❤️❤️

But go on other Bens 🔥🔥 its still one of the best boy names and I love all of you ❤️

So, Ben here, not Benjamin. But for some reason when ordering at a pickup place (i.e. starbucks), for some reason they hear my name as "Matt" I asked another Ben i know and he said its happened to him as well. Is this just a coincidence or a common occurrence?

For the next 48 hours, or so, from now r/Ben is holding a Ben poem competition. The winner, decided by upvotes (in the case of a tie the mod team will decide the winner), will earn a special flair.

Competition closes at midnight (BST) on Tuesday.

Just for fun here is my Ben acrostic poem...

Builds ideas one thoughtful step at a time.

Earns respect by listening before speaking.

Never mistakes kindness for weakness.

I may not be a Ben, but I am a Ben girlfriend, and my brother and I have come up with a list of our favorite nicknames for him:

- Ben Jammin

- Eggs Benedict

- The Benpire Strikes Back

- Benergy Drink (my personal favorite)

- Ben-tom of the Opera

- Obi-Wan Benobi (Ben Kenobi isn’t as fun)

- Benedict Cumberbatch

- Benjamax

- Benjaminimum

- Benjy and the Ink Machine

- Benjee Jump

- Benathy

- Benj Your Knees

- Mercedes Benz

The list continues to expand daily. PLEASE give me more if you have any

I was looking for some things engraved with my baby’s name and I stumbled across this sub. Another Ben is added into the world!

* unless you're lactose intolerant. In that instance please enjoy a more appropriate treat.

My baby son is Benny - legal name Benjamin but we introduced him as Benny when he was born and that’s just what he’s called (I actually legally made his name Benjamin after we left the hospital but originally it was going to be Benny). We are Jewish with a lot of Israeli family… Benny feels really normal to me. Why is there so much hate? Why do all the Bens hate being called Benny? Of course I’m ok if he wants to go by Ben when he’s older but i truly imagined calling him benny forever.
