All three?
That's a hard choice!
I'm going to let this rest on hair color, ok? Because I'm weird that way. If the baby is going to be a redhead, name him Benjamin. If he's going to be blond, name him William. If he's going to have brown hair, name him Daniel. Is that completely strange? I've just always loved the idea of a cute little curly redheaded baby Benjamin, and the other two fell into place after I thought of that :P
Of course Benjamin is a great name for any color hair, too.

It's not too strange but....
The problem is that a newborn's hair usually changes color when the baby is older. My daughter had very dark hair when she was born, it gradually became lighter and lighter until by the time she was two it was blonde, stayed blonde until she was about seven, started becoming darker, and is now brown (naturally--although she always colors it), but still not as dark as when she was born. I think you could easily name your little brunette Daniel and have him turn out a blond.

I was exactly the same! (hair-wise) :D
I prefer Benjamin, but all three are nice.

I know :)
My step brother had the most vivid, tomato red hair I've ever seen in my life when he was a baby. Now he's a sandy blond, and he'll probably turn more brownish when he's older (he's only 16 right now).
But if, say, two parents are redheads, and the baby is born redheaded, it's probably going to stay that way. (*cough* yes I know the redhead gene is very strong, and blond and brunette babies tend to change a lot as they grown.)

My hair was the same way
When I was born my hair was almost black and by the time I was two it was almost platinum blonde! It started getting darker when I was about 15 and the last time I got it cut (a few months ago), I got all the remaining blonde cut out. So now my hair is light brown.
About the names though, I like Benjamin the best :P

Exactly.
I told X that if a child is born with dark hair he/she will most likely turn into a blonde. I was born with black hair and I'm a blonde, my brothers with light hair and they're brunettes.

I'm going to say Benjamin gets my vote. I love this name, and I think it goes really well with James and John.
William is nice, too, and fits in well - very classy and handsome.
I don't care for Daniel at all. It isn't a bad name; it's just nmsaa.

I like them all, but it depends upon what the middle name choice(s) is/are for the names.

That's what I'd choose based on personal associations. Daniel is my father's step-father's name and his son is Daniel jr. so besides not liking the nns Dan and Danny the name just doesn't belong to me so I'd respect them by not using it.
I've known so many boys named Benjamin that it and Ben, though it's a family name, has some great famous associations (like Benjamin Franklin) and I like it quite a bit, isn't usable for me.
William, I'm not sure if this is the most popular of the three but I just really like it and especially the combo William Ezra!
Heh, and another though with brother Jame and John all three names would be names of British kings. William also help to break up the Biblical theme that Benjamin and Daniel would give.

Tough choice. I like them all. I think I'd have to go with Daniel though.
