Because [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] and [name_m]Marshall[/name_m] are both special names for you, I would go with [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] [name_m]Marshall[/name_m]. [name_m]Ben[/name_m] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] actually has a feel like [name_m]Clark[/name_m] [name_m]Kent[/name_m]. I would not find it an issue.
[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] [name_m]Marshall[/name_m] is fantastic! I think [name_m]Ben[/name_m] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] sounds fine. If anything it makes his name more memorable. Also, your son may decide not to go by [name_m]Ben[/name_m] at all, and then it’s a complete non-issue.
I know a B e n j a m i n _ M. _ Q u i n n! The name is not ideal but it is nice enough. Go for the name with meaning! [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] [name_m]Marshall[/name_m].
I voted for [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m], [name_m]Ben[/name_m] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] is classy sounding…
And [name_u]Sam[/name_u] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] kinda reminds me of San [name_m]Quinten[/name_m] the prison ( we did watch lock up the other night lol)
All three are nice choices. Go with the one you love most.
I think [name_m]Ben[/name_m] ([name_u]Quinn[/name_u]) sounds fine, but I think you might be surprised how popular [name_m]Ben[/name_m] is. If that’s OK with you, it’s a great name with a lot of meaning. Maybe I’m just in a [name_m]Ben[/name_m] pocket, but out of these three names, the distinctive one to me is [name_m]Peter[/name_m]. There are very few young Peters around, but a lot of Bens and Sams. (Great names all, though!)
I loooove [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]. If you’re open to it, I think [name_m]Benji[/name_m] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] sounds awesome.
I really like [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] but [name_m]Ben[/name_m] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] would be an issue for me.
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] is a character on Homeland. He’s mostly a good guy so don’t worry about that.
I voted for [name_m]Peter[/name_m].
It’s not ideal for a nickname to rhyme with the last name, but I don’t think it’s an automatic “no” to using the name since the nickname will probably not be said in conjunction with the last name very much. (For example, I never use my nickname and my last name together. They don’t rhyme, but like [name_m]Ben[/name_m] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u], they’re both one syllable names that end with the same letter (g). Not an issue.) Plus, there are other nicknames for [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] if it does bother you (or him) in the future. [name_m]Benji[/name_m] and [name_u]Jamie[/name_u] are both really cute and sound great with [name_u]Quinn[/name_u].
That being said, I really love [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] the best out of your combos!
I don’t think [name_m]Ben[/name_m] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] sounds too bad! I’d say you should go for [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] [name_m]Marshall[/name_m] if it has a special meaning for you.
[name_m]Ben[/name_m] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] is my vote! It doesn’t rhyme ([name_m]Ben[/name_m] Quenn would be bad 
I don’t think [name_m]Ben[/name_m] & [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] rhyme. Also, it’s not a big deal that they are both 1 syllable, I know lots of guys named 2 1 syllable names - like [name_m]Joe[/name_m] [name_m]Brown[/name_m], or [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Craig[/name_m], or the famous singers [name_u]Sam[/name_u] [name_m]Smith[/name_m] & [name_u]Sam[/name_u] [name_m]Hunt[/name_m]!
If [name_m]Ben[/name_m] is the name you love, use [name_m]Ben[/name_m] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]! I don’t think it’s rhyme-y at all!
