Is his real name Benedict Cumberbatch?

Or is it a really cool stage name? Just, his parents must have been rather... I imagine he would have been teased a bit. But then I guess it could be shortened to Ben and then it'd be fine, so just ignore me.

I'd love to name a kid Sherlock or Merlin, but I'd never want my kid to go through that. lol. I'll have to get more pets.

Maybe, it wouldn't be such a big deal here but if kids want to be cruel they can make something bad from any name anyway I guess...I like the name too especially for the long version of Ben, Benjamin always reminds me of Benjamin Bluemchen, the speaking elephant.
