We are struggling with a boys' name that would go with Benjamin, known as Ben. DS doesn't like any of my choices and vice versa!
Names I've suggested:
Charlie
Samuel
Joseph

Names he likes:
Jonathan
Lenny (No way)

Grateful for any thoughts

Fair enough. I've only ever met one Lachlan and he went by the full name so that's what it sounds like to me shrugs

Lachie we like as DH Scottish and I'm half Scottish. It's quite common among people we know up there

I have a Benjamin, a Joseph and a Billy. I think Jacob, Joshua, James and Isaac go quite nicely with Benjamin too.

We have a Ben & Charlie (Benjamin & Charles)
But also know a Ben & Sam
Ben & Alex
Ben & Edward
I think it goes with most fairly traditional names

Max
Francis ( Frank )
Edward ( Ted )
Jonathon ( John , Jonno )

I really love Jonathan NN Jonny

You both have quite a classical taste, just dh's slightly more uncommon
