Benedick
Benedick a newly married man, especially one who had been regarded as a sworn bachelor, from the name of the hero in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, who against his own will falls in love with and marries Beatrice; the usage probably develops from the mocking question, ‘How dost thou, Benedick the married man?’
