So... everyone now knows how to spell my name, minus the "e" at the end.

But I was not named because of religious belief.  I was named because my Daddy as a little boy, loved a bigger girl called Benedicte.

I've always deeply loved my name.

but now, this new pope, who believes in all the things I do not about the catholic church, has gone and taken my name.  My beautiful, feminine, unusual, unknown, not from religion in the first place name!

Not only that, I discovered last week that his birthday is 16th April 1927.  Mine is 8th April 1972.  It's all far too close for comfort!

Yes, of course I have issues.

How dare he????????????

Grrrrrrrrrrr.
