Need help with classic boy names.
Names we like: Patrick, John, Benjamin, Christopher. But can’t both solidly agree on one. Suggestions? |

| They’re all nice. What’s the middle name? I also like Peter, Charles, and Alexander for classic names. |

| Benjamin and Charles are great choices. Theodore only if you'll call him Theo. NOT Ted or Teddy. Those are awful. |

| Those are all good names. Is baby here? Why not wait until he gets here and see what he looks like/what he thinks? For my kid, we thought we like name A best. So the day after his birth, I held him when he was calm, fed and awake, and I asked him: are you name A? And he started screaming. I mean screaming. So I said, okay, will try again later. I tried again a few hours later and asked him: are you A and he started screaming again! So DH and I said, never mind, clearly not. Then again a few hours later, well fed, calm and awake I asked are you B and he cuddled into my arm and fell asleep. So his name is B. |

I love all those names. Would’ve used Patrick, but we have multiple in the family, and DH didn’t want to name after those particular relatives.
Anecdotally I think Benjamin is the most common around here for young kids. DS seems to always have 1-2 Bens on his sports teams. If that doesn’t bother you, I think it’s a great name! |

I really dislike Christopher and I don't like the nickname Pat. So I would immediately narrow it down to John or Benjamin. I like Ben a lot, so probably would pick that. But John is nice too.
Some other classic names I like: Robert/Rob Peter Nathan James Thomas |

I love Nicholas and think Paul is due for a comeback. I also like Philip and Xavier. |
