We would not choose a middle name that didn't have a meaning. The reason I am asking for suggestions is that we feel we have exhausted all of the family names and can't come up with anything that sounds right. We thought maybe by seeing other people's ideas of what sounds good with Benjamin we might stumble across one that flows well and has meaning for us. For example, you gave the suggestion of Benjamin Matthew. Matthew itself is not a family name, but it is on our list because it's meaning, " gift from God", is the same as the meaning of my name, MIL's name, FIL's name, and my mom's middle name.

Our list of family names to choose from is not very attractive, to be honest. Ogden, Purvis, Lewis Edward (about to have a 4th named after him, so not really an option for us), John (BIL has his middle name,Lee, so he has a namesake, but this is why we picked Jonathan), Roy (my dad's name, but my brother already has this as his middle name), Earl. Not to mention, we have a 1 syllable last name so the one syllable names sound very choppy.
