After much deliberation, we’ve finally narrowed it down to these two options for a boy! (We’re team green so it could end up being a girl!). Which one would you choose or do you like best? Big brother is Leo 
Would also love to hear the reason for your choice in the comments! Thank you in advance 
- Benjamin Thomas Hamilton (Leo + Ben, Benny, Benji)
- Maxwell Thomas Hamilton (Leo + Max)
I voted for [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- I just think [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] [name_m]Hamilton[/name_m] flows better than [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] [name_m]Hamilton[/name_m]. [name_m]Max[/name_m] is a great nickname too

I think [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] sparkles as much as [name_m]Leo[/name_m]. They both have nature connections through their meanings. I also slightly prefer the flow of a two syllable first with a three syllable last name.
[name_f][/name_f]
(Benjamin [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Hamilton[/name_m] would also be a fabulous name though, and [name_m]Benji[/name_m] is adorable.)

I prefer the name [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] and think it goes better with [name_m]Leo[/name_m]! [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] is probably my least favourite lengthening of [name_m]Max[/name_m], I prefer just [name_m]Max[/name_m], or maybe [name_m]Maximus[/name_m] or [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m]!

I voted [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]! [name_f][/name_f] I’ve long adored his timeless, friendly, wholesome appeal, and I think he’s so sweet with [name_m]Leo[/name_m]! [name_f][/name_f] I like [name_m]Max[/name_m] a lot too but am not the biggest [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] fan, and even though [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] doesn’t repeat the N ending of your surname, I like the sound of [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] [name_m]Hamilton[/name_m] more? [name_f][/name_f] You can’t go wrong with either option, but [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] has my heart. [name_f][/name_f] Good luck!

[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] would be my choice. [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] is warm, friendly and dependable. I also like [name_m]Max[/name_m] but [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] is a little more aloof probably because it also reads as a surname. All the best with your decision!
The name [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] has so many nicknames that all have such different vibes! You’ve named a few, such as [name_m]Ben[/name_m], [name_m]Benny[/name_m] and [name_m]Benji[/name_m], but what about [name_m]James[/name_m] or [name_m]Jamie[/name_m]? [name_m]Min[/name_m] or [name_f]Jin[/name_f] would work too. I know a person who went by Eni because when they were little their sibling couldn’t pronounce [name_m]Beni[/name_m]. The possibilities are endless.

I never thought about both [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] and [name_m]Leo[/name_m] having nature connections, and I absolutely love that! Thanks for pointing that out 
[name_f]My[/name_f] husband also prefers just [name_m]Max[/name_m] haha! For some reason I love [name_m]Max[/name_m] as a nickname and for day-to-day use, but I just have this gut feeling that I want him to have a longer name as an option, should he want to use it later in life. But I definitely appreciate that [name_m]Max[/name_m] can stand on its own too and maybe we will end up with just that on the day when we see him!
You paint such a lovely picture of [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- timeless, friendly and wholesome are all the qualities I absolutely love about the name! It has had my heart for a long time too. [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] is a recent addition to the list just a few months ago so it’s a bit of a last minute dark horse. I do feel that [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] is more “safe” and there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s a solid name for a reason and has been on our list for years, which in some ways makes it feel more familiar and perhaps fitting.

[name_m]James[/name_m] or [name_m]Jamie[/name_m] are very cute nicknames! I never thought of using those with [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]. Thank you!
