[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just don't understand how one could have a bland name like Joel and the other is named after a TV dog.

Like having twins named Jennifer and Lassie.[/quote]

His name is Benjamin, dummy.[/quote]

Then why are you people calling him Benji? And why aren't you calling Joel Joelly? The names are not equal.[/quote]

You've.....never heard of a nickname?

Like you don't know anyone named Julia/Julie or Madeline/Maddie?  Probably most guys named Benjamin would've shortened it to Ben for professional reasons, but he didn't have professional reasons to be Ben and not Benji, so there you go.[/quote]

I get nicknames but the twins I know have 'equal names'.... eg Jennifer/Jessica or Jen/Jess or Michael and Matthew or Mike/Matt. I don't know any where only one has a nickname I guess. I guess I'm the weird one on this. I did know a set of twins named Atlas and Rodney and we all thought that was weird as well.[/quote]

Benjamin and Joel are similar style names. Joel doesn't have a common nickname. Benji is a common nickname for Benjamin. The only odd thing here is that Benji madden didn't drop the little kid nickname that's akin to Billy. But as a previous poster indicated, he never entered the professional office setting type job so he never had to switch to Ben or Benjamin the way someone would switch to Bill or William.[/quote]
