I like two middle names, but that is quite a mouthful. If you were to go with all three, probably Benjamin Matthew James.
I LOVE the name Benjamin and it surprised me to see how popular it has become. It's kinda been hanging back in the shadows for several decades, but I think its popularity will increase slightly. I'm pretty sure I still want to use it, probably Benjamin Mark, with Mark being after my dad.

Benjamin James sounds better to me. Benjamin has always been a top boy name to me. I never realized it was as popular until a few months ago but it's not in my area so I still love it just the same.

In all honesty I would cut Matthew and go with Benjamin James or more preferably James Benjamin. If you wanted all three I'd go with James Matthew Benjamin or Benjamin Matthew James.

Benjamin Matthew sounds long itself, especially if the ln is more than one sylabble...to say the full name is a mouth full.

Either way, I love Benjamin James. Longer fn with a short and sweet mn is the way I like combos most of the time.

I prefer Benjamin James. I don't like double mns.

I think it's always been a fairly popular name. At least in the U.S. it's been very consistantly ranked in the top 20 or 30 boy names for almost 40 years.

I like Benjamin James better... I think Benjamin Matthew James would be WAY TOO LONG...

I didn't think Benjamin was that popular until the past few days when EVERYONE started talking about it.

It's still not popular where I live.... so I still like it!
