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!

[@toiveajatus]

I feel like he is not going to be the youngest for that long 😂

[@Edbeatty91]

For now😂😊❤

[@kimmuraco2272]

Agreed!!

[@juliapowanda9587]

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 :)

[@fuckthisshit8895]

My Ben is my middle son

[@mkelly2585]

I love how you took the birth mom into consideration.

[@skylinpaige8844]

Could you do one with girls names? I would love to know what you were considering if you had adopted a girl

[@gracemorgan951]

Agreed!!

[@GOTIGERSGO2010]

She did this video on this gathered nest at some point I think??

[@Itsgirltribe]

yes please

[@sarahmorley1031]

🙌🏼

[@jamiesanders270]

As soon as you announced his name was Benjamin I thought yes! He looks like a Benjamin. I think you chose the perfect name

[@lisalecompte2239]

I couldn't stop staring at his little face the entire time, he is the sweetest

[@giorgiaperotti9517]

Wilder is my son’s middle name! He is Benjamin Wilder! We have very similar taste! I love the traditional classic names so timeless and strong.❤️

[@msmegz]

My 2 month old is Luke Wilder ♥

[@whitneyrich6525]

I love that name!

[@carleecampos5633]

I love that! My friends just had a little Wilder Hughes. 😍

[@anjholz5151]

Wilder made me think of Almonzo Wilder from Little house on the prairie!

[@Happy_Tails_Toy_Poodles]

Our son’s name is Phoenix Wilder❤️

[@digangana69]

Benjamin is the perfect new addition to your family. Sending you love.

[@tamzc2989]

My son was going to be Joshua Hiel my girl was going to be Chelsea Dawn, they grew their wings in my womb 33 yrs ago

[@sanne8287]

I’m sorry for your loss❤️

[@sarahmorley1031]

I'm so sorry for your loss. From one angel mummy to another, I know the pain never goes away. Sending you love and light xxx

[@makenziewalthers8920]

So sorry for your loss, Joshua and Chelsea are precious angels 👼

[@tamzc2989]

[@tamzc2989]

He's so beautiful! So is his name. Also I can't get over how perfect your hair colour suits you 🥰.

[@mommy2mimikay]

He's just so precious!

[@kygrl14]

I totally agree that biblical boy names are just so strong. That’s why we went with Malachi Joseph for our little guy 💙

[@LindaY26]

Benjamin suits him perfectly. He is absolutely precious! ❤️

[@michellebridges2604]

I love his name! Fits him perfectly ❤️❤️

[@taylorsmith3471]

I love it when you call him benjie-man. I think it’s precious

[@loragorn]

Love most of your list but he is definitely a Benjamin! And lots of wonderful nicknames! He’s gorgeous!❤️❤️

[@quinngrey8916]

“He’s a little squeaky right now” Me: :’)

[@laurab444]

Even the names that I thought "oh I love that" or "oh that's so cute" I immediately thought "but Benji fits him so much better" Benjamin is perfect for him! I love that his first mom helped name him, so special!

[@susan5301]

His name is absolutely perfect! Thanks for sharing your journey with us! He is a doll!!!!

[@victorianuon3947]

You are all so loving! You have definitely opened my eyes about adoption.

[@raincoleman6305]

Hi Angela! I too think he has the perfect name! I adore your family. I look everyday for a new vlog/update! You guys have the most adorable kiddos. Thank you for sharing glimpses of your life with us. I treasure them all. My kiddos are all grown up, so I get to watch your family grow. Again I thank you for making an older mom smile.

[@WritterAtHeart]

Jameson is on the top of my list for our second boy (no babies yet but our first will be a Jr.) I love these sit down chatty videos, and glad little Benjamin is fitting in so well 💜

[@kated2147]

I love the concept of having a few names picked out and then seeing which one fits the baby once you meet them.

[@pamayers8681]

I love all the names but Benjamin is perfect. BTW, your hair is always on-point. Perfection.

[@MichelleMcClureshellybee92]

I'm so glad we can comment on this channel! After I watch your family channel I always want to leave a comment. I'm a recent subscriber, I came from Natalie Bennett's channel's, and I've enjoyed watching every sing video of yours I've seen! Keep it up! Also, so excited to finally watch a KZbinr from my neck of the woods! I was born and raised in Charlotte and lived there until recently when my husband joined the military. Love you guys!

[@RT-zw1xl]

His name is perfect for him! He is such a cute baby! Wishing you all the best!!!!

[@jenaparsons]

Currently 7 months pregnant with a baby Isaiah :) We haven’t heard it on any of these online lists so it was exciting to hear. We’re so excited to meet him.

[@makeupbyjessw]

And now he's 2 😭 He is just so adorable! Sweet boy 💙

[@india-amina]

I love this family because they do not see colour. They love equally which is beautiful ❤️❤️‼️

[@sarahmorley1031]

Benjamin is definitely perfect for him. I think its the most wonderful idea the his birth mom chose his middle name. He is absolutely adorable Angie and he seems like such a chilled out bubba. Congratulations again to you all xxxxx

[@miaharnold8513]

I love you!!! Your videos are the highlight of my day!!

[@dunayalmir3576]

I feel you guys pick the best name for him Benjamin is perfect

[@MandyGood]

Thank you for adopting this precious child. :)

[@sacredmommyhood]

Absolutely love his name! It's perfect. What a blessing for you to honor his birth mom by her helping to name him. It's so beautiful. We have three boys also with biblical names....Seth, Ethan, and Jonathan. Blessings to your family!

[@sophijordan1649]

Benjamin is perfect for him! I love the names on this list, my son is Isaac James 💙

[@PifsGifts]

Benjamin, Oliver & Zachary are my favorite boy names. You did good momma.

[@williamrinehart8263]

Love Benjamin 's name! He is precious! God bless.

[@judyhoffman1359]

How awesome! He's so cute!

[@rickeyking1145]

He is adorable! God Bless!

[@meganelizabeth8181]

Your hair is so beautiful!!

[@ronniedanow4533]

I'd love to see a video (either here or on the vlog channel) where you ask your kids about their current favourite things like food, colours, toys, tv shows/cartoons, activities! and film it every few months and see how their responses change!:)

[@kelleyfrye8909]

I totally thought you'd pick Isaiah or Elijah, but Benjamin is an awesome name. It does suit him and goes nicely with his middle name. ❤️

[@lucyzoey5840]

I have a son named Benjamin Thomas or Ben. He is also named after my Dad. Your Benji is so sweet and adorable. Love your channel. Congratulations!

[@clothyoriginal]

I recently watched that video with your husband and Benjamin came up, thought it was a little funny since you just had Benjamin. I love the name, its classic yet still very cute.

[@zoemcilmail2168]

I love your channel and your relationship with each child, and especially your husband! I hope to have the calm and loving demeanor that you have with your children, with my future children. Please continue sharing!

[@melissahinckley9050]

Your hair is so pretty!!!

[@jemmaxoxox]

I found this so crazy - was following your journey, watching your vlogs and saw the vlog you posted where you met him and talked about thinking about his name. I instantly thought to myself "They'll call him Benjamin." don't know why it just came to me and the next day you announced his name was Benjamin! I got goosebumps! X

[@whitneyrich6525]

Yes! I had told my husband his name should be Benjamin and then the next day they said it.

[@ruthfields5413]

Losing Isaiah! I was obsessed with that movie for so long when it came out, back in the VHS days 😂 I think Benjamin Arkeem is a perfect name for a perfectly handsome little man!

[@stillwaters2121]

Yes, Isaiah is perfect for this baby.

[@emilymiller7978]

You definitely choose the perfect name for him ❤️

[@luchie2388]

Little squish! So so cute!!

[@Dollytimebabies]

Both of his names suit him. Such a little cutie!! 💛

[@eleishaulmer9]

I think Benjamin is the perfect name for him! And he’s soooo stinkin cute 💙💙💙

[@tylertriplett2535]

Benjamin is so perfect for him, he's so beautiful 😍. I'm naming my son Rowan ❤️🤞

[@jennynash8354]

What a doll he is!

[@ashleylockwood4255]

I love Benjamin! I’ve always wanted to name one of my sons Benjamin. KZbin recently recommended your Today show clip from a year ago. So cute to watch again. Seeing you guys say you thought you’re family was complete but you had learned to never say Never. So special to know you had just adopted Benji!

[@ashleylockwood4255]

Benjamin was also a name of another family member which is why we haven’t used it.

[@hartzaire]

That baby is so beautiful it's giving me baby fever

[@burdickbiology]

All the boys names on your list are so strong. I just had a baby Calvin in March, it’s a name you don’t hear all too often and is easy to say and spell. I do love the Benji nick name!

[@fridaybabynames2389]

He's adorable and I love his name! I'm really glued to the name Darius

[@kimberlypoint8446]

We just named our son Leo! Love it! I also have Judah on my favorite name list! Jude is also another favorite.

[@KatieGrady1997]

Name videos are the best!

[@marifazekas5650]

Benjamin fits him sooooooo well. He’s such a little chunky dollie

[@alexisreyes4179]

awwwwe you got yourself a chocolate gum drop . congrats on your beautiful baby boy. he's so cute 😊😊😊. you going to be an amazing mom

[@bekahrhoda6936]

Such a cute baby!!

[@kikko422]

Arkeem is such a nice name. He’s so beautiful :)

[@EvangelineEHayes]

My son’s name is Calvin Atticus! :) Loved hearing all of your favorite boy names!! Benjamin is perfection. ❤️

[@stephaniecondron848]

This may sound dumb, but Randall from This is Us is such a strong, amazing man!!

[@mdowney2740]

Love his name! Tobias and shortened to Toby is cute!

[@nicolediehl5977]

Goodness, he is so precious! Benjamin suits him! My favorite boy name is Reece, that what we named our son. We also liked the name Luke.

[@somedaymelaninmomma8123]

I love his name!! Glory be to God!!❤️❤️

[@samf5651]

Isaac is on our boy list too! We have 4 (Grace, Peter, Emily, and Maeve) but leaning toward being done. Like you, the list is sticking around *just in case!*

[@InHerRubberboots]

Benjamin really suits him! It's funny because you mentioned 3 of our top 5 favourite boy names!

[@ellieeargle]

Benjamin is the perfect name for him! 🥰 especially watching this back now that he is 1!! he is 100% a Benjamin

[@3lli0]

Having heard all the names, Benjamin suits him the best

[@roisinncook2]

Toby is my all time favorite boys name 💛

[@valeriewiatno8207]

He looks like a doll 😍😍

[@A__Mina]

Omg imagine Noah ARKeem 😊

[@debadamsuksouthwales6766]

Angela you such a loving mum I'm sure you will have more

[@kkatmom]

Benjamin Arkeem is a perfect name for him! He’s so precious. I’m many years done with pregnancy, however, I love the names; Micha, Peter, and Finn. Donna

[@blondie2829]

I keep a list of names too. Mine is more for future pets and characters in future books, lol.

[@preciousonejewel]

He definitely is a Benjamin, Benji is the cutest nickname

[@whatever2823]

I love your shirt!! Do you know where you got it? Also love all your videos :)

[@ashleymarie6715]

Omg I'm expecting my third. Unexpected surprise but that's okay! Seeing you with Benjamin really got me super excited :) My favorite name is my second sons name is Kendrick. And at first I didn't like it too much then I heard it more. And it just fits hi. So well.

[@Jellbells23]

What a little bean 😊 so cute

[@hollyfisher8811]

I LUV the nickname "Benji", and his full name fits your handsome guy perfectly❤~Plus, Jonah & Noah are two of 2 of my absolute FAVS☺:)

[@Seaaaanie]

I think Benjamin Randall Arkeem would have been so sweet! A piece of his daddy and his first mama just seems so special. 🥰 I do love his name though. 🧡

[@Amyduckie]

Oh my, look at that snuggly little bundle! 😍 We like Theodore, Sidney, Alfie. Can’t think of any more. I am very much wanting Alan as a middle name.

[@Amyduckie]

My partner has ruled out biblical names as we are both atheist, but I just like how they sound. I’m a big fan of Esau, Ezra, Ezekiel, Amos, Isaiah, Obadiah, Judah, Samson, Job.

[@punkypoet]

I think Benjamin suits him so well! We live in Quebec, Canada, so all our names are French but can be pronounced somewhat in english. This is our list: Léo (French version of Leo) Olivier (French version of Oliver - the name of the son my mom lost 36 years ago this week) Mathis (pronounce Mat-tiss) Matéo (prounounced Matteo but written in French) We`re hoping to get started on our family in about 2 years, as we`re currently saving up for a house.

[@rosebud7233]

Love several of these!

[@michellecrunchymom2936]

Benjamin fits him perfectly! He's so precious! We have a running baby name list. Some of my favorite boy names: Augustus, Benedict, Jedediah...i also like Isaiah!

[@beckymoe7]

Love his name! My youngest was Benjamin Charles for about 10 seconds. 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.
