ETA: For the sake of curiosity, I just googled "Benedict Arnold" and discovered that "贝内迪" seems to be the accepted Chinese version of "benedict" in that case.
According to Wikipedia, the term for eggs Benedict is 火腿蛋鬆餅.
As for Benedict, google seems to reckon that 本尼迪克特 is the most popular transliteration. I think 本笃 is one of those classical transliterations that do not necessarily bear any resemblance to the original pronunciation. You probably have to be the Pope to be called that
