Boys Name To Go With Benjamin

[LouisaJF]

DS is Benjamin and now DC2 is on his/her way. We are pretty much settled on a girls name but boys are proving a struggle.

We tend to be quite traditional in our tastes and we have to confess to slight middle class tendencies. DH is keen on another long name which can be shortened. His favourite is Sebastian, mine is Harry. We are struggling to agree so we're after some inspiration. Anyone?

Nicholas
Daniel
Matthew

Matthew
David
Thomas
Christopher
George

Samuel
Jonathan

William
Joseph
Edward

Will/William
Tom/Thomas
Toby
Noah
Joe/Joseph
Elliot

Sebastian is a beautiful name. We have a long surname & had a rule that DCs first names must be 7 letters or less & so Sebastian was vetoed.

What about William, (Wills, Billy etc) Oliver, (Oli) Dominic, (Dom, Nico), Christopher (love Kit as a nn), Alexander (Alex, Xander, Sasha) Theodore (Ted, Teddy or Theo), Tristan (Doesn't need a nn), Thomas (Tom, Tommy). All these names sound good with Benjamin.

Edward
Samuel
Joseph
William
Robert
Henry
James

Noah

First thought was Joshua.

Joseph (Joe)
Jacob (Jake)
Theodore (Theo)
Albert (Albie / Bertie)
Christopher (Chris / Kit)
Timothy (Tim)
Nathaniel (Nathan / Nate / Nat)
Alexander (Alex)
Patrick (Pat)
Jeremy (Jem)
Charles (Charlie)
Frederick (Fred / Freddie)
Montgomery (Monty)
Philip (Pip)
Robert (Robbie / Rob / Bobby)

Like Sebastian and love Dominic which has already been mentioned.

I think Daniel or Tobias would go together great. Ben & Toby are lovely nicknames too imo.
