Fav of these 'traditional' names

[LuckyMum3]

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.

Max

Benjamin is my if I ever had a boy name

I like Joseph and Charlie. I know a large number of annoying Charlies now so would choose Joseph over Charlie because of that.
Do not like Benjamin at all.
Maxwell is not a traditional nice name imo.

I like Benjamin and Joseph

@DaisyWaldron

I like Max, but as short for Maxim or Maximilian rather than Maxwell. Maxwell makes me think of Robert Maxwell and family, and also instant coffee.

Search Maxim and see what comes up

Benjamin would be my first choice. I also like Benedict very much.

I wouldn’t use Charles, as Charlie has been a top ten name for very many years, so there must be thousands of them!
I’m not keen on Max/Maxwell, again that has been quite popular in the recent past.
Although I like Joseph and Joe, I’m not at all keen on Joey as a nn, so wouldn’t use that, and would rule Joseph out for that reason.

Joint first - Benjamin and Joseph, then charles/Charlie, i like Max but Maxwell would be my least favourite but I don't hate it

My favourite is Benjamin, least favourite Charles. Not keen on Joseph and Maxwell makes me think Ghislaine at the moment… which is a shame because I used to think James Clerk. So might hold off on that one for the minute.

I've got a teenage Joe (Joseph but that's never used). I don't know any others but he says there are two others in his year at high school. (240 in the year!)

Benjamin also gorgeous. Adore Charlie too but it's v popular. Not as keen on Maxwell.

I really like Benjamin

Charles.

Quite like Benjamin too, but I grew up with a Benjamin that didn't want his name shortened and it was a constant battle for him. Most people seemed convinced that if he was weird enough not to be a Ben, he must be a Benji instead.

Benjamin

The only name I don't like is Maxwell.

I know a few Benjamins of all ages.

The Charlies are boys and young men, while the Charles are old but called Charlie.

The Josephs I know old but called Joe.

Joseph. Gorgeous name. Never met a dodgy one.

Love Joseph
Prefer Ben or Benadict to Benjamin

Charles

I love traditional names -Joseph and Charles are the most timeless to me (never been out the top 100), so are my faves of the 4. I'd probably choose Joseph as Charlie is so popular in it's own right too (I personally prefer Cal as a nn if Charles needs one).

Maxwell is a bit surname for me - but classical Maximilian, nn Max is very nice. Equally nothing wrong with Benjamin as such - I just prefer the sound of Benedict for the nn Ben.

Charles. Don’t see maxwell as traditional but maybe I’m wrong ?

Joseph, I would have used it if I could.

I have two DDs, but if they'd been boys they would've been Joseph and Benjamin so I think you have great taste. I currently prefer Benjamin.

Benjamin and Joseph.
Wonderful names.

I love Joseph. It's the name of someone very close to me.

I'm not a big fan of Ben as it's over used for boys of my age growing up. But I love the others. My son is a variation of Max and he has the option of using Max or his full name depending on the situation.

Joseph is a really nice name and not too common these days. Benjamin would be my second favourite, followed by Charles then Maxwell x

Biased as I have a Benjamin. We shorten to Ben but he's got the option of the full shebang if he so desires when he's older.
Timeless and 'life lasting' name as in suits someone of all ages from baby to elderly
