good idea to design your name, you'll be using it quite a bit once you get out of school and start working on getting yourself out there. i agree with others that "jamin" is read first. i actually read "Bon" instead of Ben. but quickly realized my mistake. Charity will likely always mislead people if you accentuate that only. I think equal importance should be placed on first and last names. I recommend shortening the first name and just going with Ben. because sometimes in the workplace it seems childish or over formal when people go with their long first names "Jeffrey, or Theodore" I would choose a less grungy font, even though i agree they do look cool. but you'll want to be more generic, esp. if you want to work for people that wont like/want a grunge look. hope this helps..

Thank you for your insight. I have been going by Benjamin for a while now not to be stuffy or 'grown up' but rather because you would be surprised at how many one syllable words sound like Ben! I was constantly thinking people were talking to me haha. But i do understand what you mean. I'll have to think it over.
