A 'try-hard' dad has become a laughing stock for naming his son after his two favourite things in life. The 27-year-old revealed how he made up a "unique name" when combining fictional characters from William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.
Taking to Reddit, he said: "Ever since I was young, I have really loved books and literature. My favourite book series of all time is The Lord of the Rings. I also really love Shakespeare.
"So when my wife and I were thinking of names for our kid, I suggested a rather unique name - Benwise. It's a combination of Benvolio and Samwise.
