My husband and I have had trouble agreeing on names before, but this time we both thought Benjamin would make a perfect name for our last baby, as it is traditionally given to the youngest of a family. We can&#8217;t think of a middle name though, and although middle names are not particularly used in the US, maybe just an initial, we have a lot of family from south america and they usually refer to children by both first and middle names. So we want something that goes well (does not have to be latino). Please help us!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I am wondering if we should take into account the nickname Ben as we search. For example, I thought Benjamin John would be a nice combination, and nice with the brother names&#8212;but would he ever be called Ben John? Or would it always be the full first name plus middle?<\/p>\n<p>I notice both brother names are five syllables for the first + middle.
