Sick of All of vs. These Such vs. Close Names

I’d really like to use the names Benjamin, Thomas, Elijah, or Cane, but Thomas has already been used several times in my family, Benjamin’s been used once, and names similar to the others two, such as Eli, Lane, Blaine, and Shane have been used as well. I don’t know what people in my family are thinking. There are so many of the same or similar sounding names. Among my parents many grandchildren, we have Cade and Caden, Johnny and John (although John goes by Jack), Colton and Colby, Bennett and Barrett, and as for middle names, James and Alexander have been used twice. Among the rest of the family, James, Ann, Elizabeth, and Carl have been used numerous times. My sister is planning the name Avery even though it’s been used five times (only once as a first name though). I wish people in the family would branch out when it comes to names, but the problem is that I like a lot of these names or names similar to them as well. IDK what to do. Would you use the names you like or choose something different.

Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
