[name]Benjamin[/name] [name]Shepherd[/name] or [name]Shepherd[/name] [name]Benjamin[/name]?
[name]Baby[/name] will be called [name]Shepherd[/name], [name]Benjamin[/name] is DH’s name. [name]Shepherd[/name] [name]Benjamin[/name] is the obvious order, but it sounds weird to me. Like he’s a shepherd named [name]Benjamin[/name]? What do you think?
I agree that [name]Benjamin[/name] [name]Shepherd[/name] sounds better, but if he’ll go by [name]Shepherd[/name] regardless, I would go for [name]Shepherd[/name] [name]Benjamin[/name], especially since his initials would be B.S. and I’m worried that could cause issues (although it could also mean bachelor of science, so maybe that’s not so bad. I wonder if I’m the only one that notices that?). Either way, it’s a lovely name. 
[name]Shepherd[/name] [name]Benjamin[/name] doesn’t sound that bad, it just doesn’t flow as well as [name]Benjamin[/name] [name]Shepherd[/name]. However, I feel that if you are going to call him [name]Shepherd[/name], you should name him [name]Shepherd[/name].
Also, I notice B.S. stands for bachelor of science too ash - your not alone! I notice initials M.[name]Ed[/name]. too, as this is my Master of Education abbreviation I sign to what feels like millions of papers daily.
[name]Hi[/name] sweetie,
I really like [name]Benjamin[/name] [name]Shepherd[/name], but keep in mind,there is a english television report and named [name]Ben[/name] [name]Shepherd[/name]… [name]Ben[/name] is probably the nickname he will use. Best wishes on your pregnancy and labour.

Actually our last name starts with an S, so BS is basically inevitable in some combo with [name]Benjamin[/name]. But DH survived, so I’m not TOO stressed over that!
Well, DH goes by [name]Ben[/name] so that nickname is completely off the table! He will be [name]Shepherd[/name] or [name]Shep[/name].
Initials will either be SBS or BSS.
[name]Benjamin[/name] [name]Shepherd[/name] sounds the best to me.
I actualy prefer [name]Shepherd[/name] [name]Benjamin[/name]
I also think Benjamin Shepherd sounds better, and I know plenty of people who go by their middle names. Although as far as your concern that Shepherd Benjamin sounds like a sheep herder, people would much more often be saying “Shepherd [your last name]” than “Shepherd Benjamin,” so I don’t think that would be too much of an issue.
I agree with [name]Ashley[/name].
