I said hello Benjamin Charles right after he was born and my husband looked at me and said “Charles Benjamin” His uncle who was like a second father to my husband was Charles and had passed away 3 days before our little guy was born. Charles Benjamin fits him, and I sometimes still call him my baby Ben. But it’s a blessing he can carry on his great uncles name.
