Adrian, Leo and Benjamin?
The only three names on our list at the moment. What are your thoughts on them? Thank you. :)

I think they make a great sibset! My favourite is Leo, then Adrian, and then Benjamin. All three are good names. Leo sounds strong and cool. It reminds me of Tolstoy and hockey players. For Adrian, I imagine a jokester who has great style and is quite cultured. Benjamin is the kind of guy everyone gets along with. He's calm, easygoing, and just looking to hang out with his friends. Benjamin is a very sunny name in my mind.

They are all nice!! I love Leo quite a bit. I only recently realized how much I love it. It just has such a nice sound. And it means lion! I love it! I wish my name meant lion! Adrian is an older favorite. It’s so handsome without being overly masculine. Would also be a great choice.Benjamin is a bit harder to get excited about (I’ve known soooo many Bens) but I have nothing against it either. It’s friendly and warm and I love the way the j looks in it.

I have to say Adrian is really growing on me. I used to not even consider it enough to hate it, but, popularity aside, I could see it on a short list.Leo is too nny for me but I do like it. Not sure which full name I like which keeps it teetering on the edge of my list.Benjamin -strong classic but hate Ben. Kind of like Benji but probably only for a child. Love the full form, just know it's likely to be shortened.All are a bit popular/overused in my opinion but all decent names.

Benjamin is classic and Ben is a good nn.
Leo is pleasant and distinctive, and much nicer than Leonie; seems to be liked by social climbers.
Adrian would be my choice. I like the sound, the look and the history; also the Wall.

Adrian is nms. I've never liked it at all, just doesn't do anything for me.
Leo is really handsome. I love the "lion" meaning and it's short, punchy sound. Also ages well.
Benjamin is handsome and timeless. It also ages well imo.

Adrian is my nephew's name, but from the ones you mentioned, it's also the only one I dislike.Leo and Benjamin are both nice, solid names. Today I'd go with Benjamin, but it could change from day to day.

I like Leo a lot, as a name and a nn. I can stand Benjamin but it's not my cup of tea. Adrian is a classic and I really like the sounds. It's a nice name.

1. Leo -- I adore this handsome name. I agree with another poster that it's bold and I'd also say it's brave (think lionhearted, if you will). It has a strong historical presence as well. Guess you can tell this is my favorite male name.2. Adrian -- This is a close second to Leo. At any rate, it definitely ranks among my top five male names. Beautiful to look at, beautiful to listen to, the classic Adrian has it all.3. Benjamin -- It's not that I dislike this name. I'll admit it's handsome, however, it just doesn't do a whole lot for me. I find it rather nondescript. Ben, even more so, seems quite bland.

I love Adrian and Leo but dislike Benjamin.Adrian is the very rare exception to the rule that I don't like soft sounding male names. I think it's so handsome.Leo is bold.Benjamin has always made me think of a big brown bear. And not in a good way.

I like them! They'd make a good sibset :) I think my favorite is Leo but Benjamin is a close second and it's the most classic for sure.

If I had to rank them I would put them just in the order you have them in right now, from most to least favorite, but all are good though
