Too Old Testament?

[flipflopsonfifthavenue]

DS2 is several hrs old and may well be a Benjamin.

I want to give him my dad's name as a middle name, and my dad's name is David William.

I think Benjamin David sounds a bit better than Benjamin William which feels very wordy. You just get Benjamin out and you have to start over with William...

But is Benjamin David too Old Testament..?? Not sure what I mean by that - maybe that it's a 'big' name..?

Benjamin David is fine, it's a handsome, classic name :-)

Congratulations btw!

Sounds great!

Congrats!!! I like the name, it sounds perfect.

Thanks (glad someone else is awake - this is a noisy ward and I'd forgotten that newborns really do FEED ALL THE TIME!!!!....)

Meant to add, DS1 is Edward Jack, known as Teddy.

Teddy and Ben ok..?

Congrats! I think Benjamin David is lovely. :)

Another yes for Benjamín David and Congratulations

our sons names are

Joshua David
Samuel Aaron
Michael Jacob
Noah Matthew
Isaac Benjamin
Elijah Timothy

(also have a daughter Elizabeth Grace)

As you can see we used those as middle names so 200% yes to Benjamin David!

and Congratulations! well done!

Great names zing!

Benjamin David sounds lovely. I think they are both names that people think of as being mainstream classic rather than first thinking of them as being Old Testament.

Congratulations.

Call him William, then you can have Bill and Ted

Seriously Benjamin David is great. Congratulations! V jealous of newborn snuggles!

No such thing as too OT.

A lovely, solid name. Go for it.

Benjamin David is lust lovely. Teddy and Ben go really well together.

congratulations! Benjamin David is lovely and Ben and Ted are great nn's.

Ha! Benjamin David is currently number one on my boys names list for DC3 due in 7 weeks. You have great taste

Melchizedek is possibly a bit too Old Testament, but Benjamin David is just a nice ordinary (in the best sense) name.

Benjamin David is lovely.

Congratulations

Benjamin David is lovely. Cannot imagine anyone in RL would think it was too OT on hearing it! And I like OT names

Congratulations on your son! Teddy and Ben - lovely!

dino came on to say Nebuchadnezzar was too OT, but you beat me to it!

Benjamin David is great - congratulations!

Do you mean a Benjamin in the French sense, meaning the youngest child?

It is a good name though.

I love Benjamin David, it's a strong sounding name.

Just wanted to say, Zing one of your sons has the same name as mine (Joshua David). You have very good taste

Lovely names (Teddy and Benji, maybe?)

Congratulations

Congratulations

I like your name choice. Yes the names are found in the Bible but it wouldn't occur to me that put together they are OTT religious. They are classic names.
