I really like Benjamin, but I'm not so keen on Lucas

Benjamin is NMS, but it fits perfectly with your other children's names.

Love them both, classic strong names, not too common.

Benjamin is ok but your other names are Fan bloody tastic! We already have an Alexander and if number 3 is a girl she will be Katerina. Do you get any issues with how people pronounce it? Just for ideas since it seems we have sort of similar taste, other names we like are
Jasmin (our DD)
Stephanie
Sarah
Lauren
Sebastian
Owen
Carsten
Stefan

Ingrid!
No probs with mispronunciation but I think if you want to ensure that there aren't problems.... Spell it Caterina.

we get Katrina sometimes which sh*ts me.
I like Sebastian ... DH doesn't.

nickolai is my other choice but very angry at a nick I know... And it's affecting the name

I love Benjamin with Katerina and Alexander.
A name I like that is hardly ever used out here that also flows is Demetrius/Dmitri. But it's nowhere near as easily spelled/dealt with as Benjamin.

Gorgeous names OP!!! However, am thinking that Benjamin is very common of late with regard to choices.
Re: SebastianOR Nickolai......well, what can I say except I s-w-o-o-n over both of them.
You have lovely, distinguished names for your other children too. Good luck - going by your track record, I'll trust your choice

No doubting the combo works perfectly and that Benjamin goes really well with your others, it's just that it somehow seems just a bit meh next to them.
I think Sebastian would be an equal and I would keep Lucas as MN. I would prefer Nicholas over Nikolai with Alexander but I think Sebastian is the real winner considering Katerina as well.
Anyway that's all academic if your DH doesn't like it.
I would like Benedict just as well. So similar to Benjamin but a bit fresher. Benedict Lucas

Or:
Theodore
Timothy
Julian
Samuel

GREAT choice!

Thanks guys....

DH is just so picky... So, so picky. So picky!
Benjamin isn't my favourite name. I would prefer Nickolai but... he's a man of few words and it really is hard to fight with a "no!" I am a girl of many words... but how many can you shout back at "no".
I'll try Benedict thought. I quite like that.

I really like both Benjamin and Benadict.
I'm not as keen on Lucas - makes me think mucous but it's probably just my mind. I prefer plain old Luke.
