We're really struggling on picking DS#2's name....our first DS name is Ryan. I love the name Jonathan, but my dad's name is John and i feel like he will wonder why we didn't just name him John after him? I like Benjamin, but my DH isn't totally sold on the name. the middle name will be Michael after my FIL. TIA for your input!!

I like all those names. I like Benjamin the best.
If your DH likes Jonathan more than Benjamin, I'd say go with Jonathan. To me, Jonathan is close enough to John (hello NN). It's totally a namesake, so I don't think you have to worry about that.

Both names are good when used in full, but when shortened, Ben is waaaay better than John! I love Benjamin!
