Jonah or Benjamin?
I've posted several times about our girl name choices, and now I'd like some opinions on the boys names we have chosen. Again, we can't decide between the three combos, so any input would be greatly appreciated. :)
Jonah Eli (Eli after my dad)
Benjamin Andrew (Andrew after my fiance's grandfather)
or
Benjamin Henry (Henry after my grandfather)
Jonah Eli (Eli after my dad)
Benjamin Andrew (Andrew after my fiance's grandfather)
or
Benjamin Henry (Henry after my grandfather)

This is tough, since both Jonah and Benjamin are among my absolute favorite boys names.
I will cast my vote for Benjamin here because I don't like the combination Jonah Eli. I don't know, I've never cared for Eli, Elijah, Isaiah, Elisha etc.
Between Benjamin Andrew and Benjamin Henry I pick Henry because it's the more unusual combination.
What about Benjamin Jonah or Jonah Benjamin, though?
And since it seems to be en vogue these days, why not go with 2 middle names? Jonah Benjamin Henry or Jonah Benjamin Andrew are nice, too :)

I like Benjamin, and the names Andrew and Henry. Since both Andrew and Henry honor family members, I'd suggest Benjamin Henry Andrew. But, if I had to choose one of those combos, I'd choose Benjamin Andrew.
