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.

Joseph

... as long as it's pronounced Jo-Ziff and not Jo-Siff.

Maxwell isn’t at all traditional.

All lovely names. I prefer Ben/jamin and would go for Charlie rather than Charles as a given name.

Meh… All a bit meh to me but they’re not my style of name. I’d choose Benjamin if I had to though.

Benjamin and Joseph are both classic, beautiful names. Fabulous names with great namesake throughout the centuries and lovely nicknames too. Both suit all ages too.

Charles/Charlie I can't stand - sorry to any parents of these. (Charles sounds ultra conservative, and dull/miserable, whereas Charlie is super cutsie and infantile.)

Maxwell is all coffee to me, but I do love both Max and Maximilian.

In order:
Charles/Charlie,
Benjamin,
Joseph
Maxwell - Max is nice but I don't like Maxwell

Love Benjamin. Less keen on the others. Charlie is cute but I don't really like Charles.
