Middle names are used so rarely that it's really more about first and surnames. You'll only be shouting the full thing when you're really annoyed at them.

That said I'll answer the question since you asked. I don't like any of the Scott first name combinations, don't like Otto, I used to have a pet rat called Arnold, he was lovely but I can't picture it on a child. Tobias Scott is nice, but I don't like Toby as a standalone name.

Which leaves Benjamin. Benjamin Dean sounds like a lawyer's firm. Ditto Benjamin Scott.

Benjamin Jack or Benjamin Lee. Probably the latter.
