We are down to the last few weeks with baby boy #2. Our first is [name_m]Luka[/name_m]. Also looking for some middle name options. Our last name starts with R and is two syllables. [name_m]The[/name_m] first names are shorter so I am thinking a longer middle name to balance out. I like [name_m]Julian[/name_m] but husband isn’t 100% Which goes best with [name_m]Luka[/name_m]?
[name_m]Max[/name_m] (unsure if we will go with a longer version such as [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]
[name_m]Jude[/name_m]
[name_m]Tate[/name_m]
All of these work well with [name_m]Luka[/name_m], but I especially like [name_m]Max[/name_m]! [name_m]Luka[/name_m] and [name_m]Max[/name_m] are perfect brother names.
[name_m]Max[/name_m] [name_m]Julian[/name_m] is a great name. [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] is also nice, but I do prefer “just” [name_m]Max[/name_m] and I don’t think it’s too nickname-y on its own.

I like [name_m]Tate[/name_m] [name_m]Julian[/name_m] for you.
I’m voting [name_m]Max[/name_m]! [name_m]Jude[/name_m] is my favorite, but I don’t love the strong oo sound in both [name_m]Luka[/name_m] and [name_m]Jude[/name_m]. [name_m]Luka[/name_m] and [name_m]Max[/name_m] are perfect brothers though! I do also like [name_m]Tate[/name_m], but I like [name_m]Jude[/name_m] and [name_m]Max[/name_m] more.
Good luck!
With big bro’s name, I think either [name_m]Max[/name_m] or [name_m]Jude[/name_m] is the choice. Have you considered [name_m]Tristan[/name_m]? I think it goes lovely!
As far as longerish middles, maybe:
For Max(well): [name_m]Halloran[/name_m], [name_m]Jameson[/name_m], [name_m]Tavian[/name_m], [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
For [name_m]Jude[/name_m]: [name_m]Amias[/name_m], [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], [name_m]Merrick[/name_m], [name_m]Tavian[/name_m], [name_m]Elias[/name_m]
Hopefully these help! 
I love either [name_m]Max[/name_m] or [name_m]Jude[/name_m] 
[name_m]Luka[/name_m] and [name_m]Max[/name_m] is my favourite sibset. [name_m]Max[/name_m] [name_m]Julian[/name_m] is great or if appropriate, would your maiden name work as his middle?
[name_m]Max[/name_m] [name_m]Torin[/name_m]
[name_m]Max[/name_m] [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m]
[name_m]Max[/name_m] [name_m]Arlo[/name_m]
[name_m]Max[/name_m] [name_m]Reuben[/name_m]
[name_m]Max[/name_m] [name_m]Davis[/name_m]
[name_m]Max[/name_m] [name_m]Bennett[/name_m]
My favourite is [name_m]Jude[/name_m] [name_m]Julian[/name_m] with big brother [name_m]Luka[/name_m]
I think all of your options are great as a brother to [name_m]Luka[/name_m]. I’m not sure if you’re thinking of [name_m]Julian[/name_m] as a middle or a first but I like it with [name_m]Luka[/name_m] and as a middle with [name_m]Tate[/name_m] and [name_m]Max[/name_m]. [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] is a lovely longer name for [name_m]Max[/name_m].
My personal preference on firsts are:
[name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] “Max”
[name_m]Julian[/name_m]
[name_m]Jude[/name_m]
[name_m]Tate[/name_m]
[name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] [name_m]Julian[/name_m]
[name_m]Tate[/name_m] [name_m]Julian[/name_m]
Some other longer middle ideas:
[name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] [name_m]Alastair[/name_m] or [name_m]Alasdair[/name_m] for a matching Scottish vibe
[name_m]Tate[/name_m] [name_m]Laurence[/name_m]
[name_m]Jude[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_m]Jude[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] or [name_m]Tate[/name_m] [name_m]Jameson[/name_m]
They all go great. How about [name_m]Max[/name_m] [name_m]Julian[/name_m]?
[name_m]You[/name_m] have three solid options but I love [name_m]Jude[/name_m] and [name_m]Tate[/name_m] most of all. Probably [name_m]Jude[/name_m] as my top choice!!
[name_m]Jude[/name_m] [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] would be handsome! As would [name_m]Tate[/name_m] [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]!

[name_m]Tate[/name_m] [name_m]Vincent[/name_m]
I like [name_m]Julian[/name_m] best with [name_m]Luka[/name_m], if your husband can get on board.
I love [name_m]Max[/name_m] [name_m]Julian[/name_m] for you! Or [name_m]Tate[/name_m] [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]!
