Golly did not know we were still on this as I have an answer:-
Big Ben is the name of the actual bell in the tower and was allegedly named after Benjamin Hall a Clerk of Works (1st one ?) for the area. Another theory is it was named after a pugilist of the era but I do not know anything about him.
Well that's my story and I am sticking to it.
