Alternatives for Benjamin

Benoni

My 5x great-grandfather was named [name_m]Benoni[/name_m], which is how I know of the name, but it could certainly work in today’s world.

In the Bible, [name_m]Benoni[/name_m] was the original name [name_f]Rachel[/name_f] gave her son before his father changed it to [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]. (KJV Genesis 35:18)

For some “modern” references to the name (1600 to present), look here and here. While not in high use, at least they do show use in today’s world.
