    I think it's perfect Benjamin in the bible was the youngest son in a large family and so is your Benjamin. He is adorable!

      Yeah! And it is pretty common in some countries to name the last child Benjamin. In fact when I was living in Chile it was usually assumed you were the youngest if you were named Benjamin :)

      My first son's name is Isaak and the second is Elija. (I'm from Germany so different writing and pronunciation) I love Isaiah so much (the name and the book of the bible ;-)) but in German its Jesaja which is not as beautiful as Isaiah and also not really a name here.

    My oldest is a Ben :) we’ve called him just Ben since day one it stuck though his full name is Benjamin, I’ve always loved it and the simplicity of it! Your Benji is soooooo precious!!
