Benjamin, Joseph, Maxwell, Charles/Charlie,

Too boring? Will be 1 of Several..
Traditional, can't go wrong?
My girls all have 3 traditional/well known names but not overly popular.

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I think Maxwell may have connotations to Maxwell and his daughter who’s on trial at the moment. It will always be shortened to Max though so that would be fine.

Benjamin. All the Benjamins I know have been very sweet-natured and kind and well-loved.

I like Joseph, Maxwell and Charlie.
I think Charlie is my favourite although I think it's also likely to be the most popular.
I am not a fan of Benjamin. I always think 'bunny' and Ben on its own reminds me of an animal.

Really like them all, except Joseph which sounds a bit too old man to me

Joseph definitely needs to make a come back , the nn joey is just so cute 😍

I like Joseph - it was on our shortlist. To be honest the only one I don't like is Maxwell, but even so it's not that bad.
