Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for Benjamin, with forms such as "bbenjamin", "bejnamin", and "benajmin".

It also participates in 1 confusable-pair relationship, "benjamim", since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
