Benjamin for a middle name...

My DH's name is Benjamin. Ben's middle name is his dad's first name and his dad's middle name was Ben's grandpa's name. We found out that we are having a girl, but we need a boy name just in case the tech was wrong. I am stuck. We would like to carry on that tradition with the middle name, but have no clue for a first name...suggestions??

 Also, our girl name is Eliana Rose (Rose was my grandma's name) Ellie for a nick name. Opinions on that name as well please?

    Since Benjamin is kind of a long name, I would choose a first name that is short and is only one or two syllables. Here are some ideas:

    Noah
    Daniel
    David
    Joseph
    Lucas
    Isaac
    Tyler
    Eli
    Thomas
    Levi
    Adam
    Louis
    Cole
    Eric
    Chase
    Asher
    Kyle
    Grant
    Mark
    Trevor
    Seth
    Reid
    Scott
    Curtis
    Lance

    DH's name is Benjamin.  Luca Benjamin is my top boy name at the moment.

    Eliana Rose is sweet!  Eliana is DD's MN (FN is Violet, so a flower name too!).

    Oh, I think Benjamin goes really well with a lot of names! Shorter names are probably better though, especially if your LN is long too. LOVE the tradition in your DH's family of passing down names - that's really neat! 

    Noah, James, William, Charles, Adam, Peter, Lewis, Arthur, Michael... Gee... almost anything really.

    Eliana Rose is beautiful! Really nice choice :)

    Oh also I like the name Eliana Rose, but am not crazy about nn Ellie. If I were to shorten Eliana, I'd use Liana or Ana.
