"Despite the origin of one as a derivative of the other, Benedict and
Bennet have become different names, since both are in current use in
the
English-speaking world, and they would not be considered
interchangeable
in most contexts. If you request eggs Bennet at a restaurant, you
will go hungry."

Perhaps germane: as Benedict is to Bennet, so is Augustine to Austin.

Todd A. Farmerie...
Curious you should use that example - a fried just asked me yesterday if
the Augustine/Austin equivalence reported in Baby Name books is
authentic. What is the earliest occurance of Austin? I recall a late
13th century Adam Austin, progenitor of the Irelands.

Why caricature your own position, if you hold it sincerely, with this
