A simple typo would trigger the autocorrect on the first name—I'm guessing something like "Banedict." If they'd had "Benedict" right, it should have stayed.
I once had a student turn in a paper where she'd run AutoCorrect without looking. It was about Arthur and his knight Balin—or, as Microsoft Word made them, Author and his knight Balloon. She was mortified when I showed her: every blessed occurrence of each name had been changed. You'd think Word could handle Arthur, too, but this was a number of years ago, and apparently it couldn't.
