A while back I brought up the name Gabriel and potential middle names.
Another boy name I really like is Julian.

What sounds best: Gabriel Julian or Julian Gabriel.

If you were to use any other middle names for either, which ones would you suggest?
I'm Norwegian but prefer names that can be used in both Norwegian and English.

I like Julian Gabriel better than Gabriel Julian.

While I like Gabriel better in general, I think Julian Gabriel flows better.

I like Julian over Gabriel. Julian Gabriel sounds great!

I've always liked Julian Francis or Julian Henry.

My cousin's little boy is named Gabriel, no middle name. Except that because he loves Diego from the Dora the Explorer show, she jokingly calls him Gabriel Diego but I love the combo.

See, I like the name Julian a lot better than I like the name Gabriel. (Although I like them both!) So my pick is Julian Gabriel.

Oh, I love Julian Henry! I'm a bit obsessed with the name Henry in general.

I feel like Julian Gabriel flows better, but it keeps sounding like "Julie and Gabriel" to me. I guess that would be a problem with Julian + anything though. Something + Julian would sound better; I just don't care for it with Gabriel.

I really like Julian August! Thanks :)

I'm partial to Gabriel as it's a family name and Clark Gabriel (going by Gabriel) is/was on our short list for names while pregnant.

Gabriel Aaron and Julian Thomas have been my top 2 boy's names since I started a favorites list ages ago. :D

Gabriel Julian seems to flow better, if you go that route.

I prefer Gabriel Julian to Julian Gabriel.

Julian August makes me chuckle a bit because of the historical reference.
