Benjamin - Love Samuel - Not really my thing but not bad. I prefer Samson. Finn - Like Patrick - Love. Zachary - Love. I love Z's though. Joshua - There's nothing bad to say about Joshua but it's not exciting either. I also like: Finnian/Finnegan/Phineas Zane/Zacharias/Zebulon/Ezekiel NN Zeke Jonathan Dominic Daniel Nathaniel Bram Alastair/Alexander

Decent list ya got there! Sophie and Edward might be a bit royal family but I'm not sure. Is Edward married to a Sophie? More: Marcel Claude Daniel Oscar Felix Julian Lucas Simon Theo

I love Benjamin, Samuel and Finn from your list, they are all wonderful names! I probably prefer Benjamin and Finn just a bit more, only because I'm not a huge fan of two names starting with the same letter, but I do love Samuel. Other names I like are: Jude Ellis Luca Raphael Asher
