Benjamin is another classic. In the Bible, Benjamin was Jacob's youngest son (and Joseph's only brother from the same mother, Rachel). Later, Benjamin was the name of one of the twelve Israelite tribes.
Although the name has not been as popular as other names, it has also shown a steadiness reserved only for one type of name: A classic long name with a short nickname. Like Christopher and Christian nicknamed Chris, or Andrew nicknamed Andy, Ben (or other common nicknames like Benny, Benjy, Bennie, and many others) is used as a nickname for Benjamin and helps keep its high rating.
2009 Update:
Benjamin has moved to the 20th spot, its highest spot ever.
2010 Update:
A slight decline in popularity may not mean much, other than that perhaps the name Benjamin has peaked in 2009, and will never be as popular again. It is always possible that a popular celebrity will make the name popular again, of course, but it's questionable whether Benjamin can ever make it to the top 10.
