So, I‘m a man and I have this male Spanish colleague (from Spain) who I thought was calling me ‘Benito’. I thought it’s kinda weird since coming from a Catholic family, I’ve always known ’Benito’ means blessed or something like that (St Bendict translates to San Benito). Then I realised he actually was calling me ’Bonito’.

I’m obviously not Spanish and would like to learn about Spanish culture so I just wanna know how common is it between guys to call each other Bonito? Would really appreciate anyone who can answer. Gracias!
