Brother for Benjamin?

Hello everyone, I'm currently pregnant with my second boy with due date in September. I already have one son called Benjamin West who will be two when baby arrives. Choosing his name was super easy because I've always loved Benjamin and middle name West was passed down from SO. This baby's name is so much harder!

We both love Luca but we're worried that it's too short together with Benjamin. Other names that we like are Darius, Felix, Rene, Vincent (or maybe Vince?). I would love to honour my mom who's name is Sylvia but I can't find a name that fits since our last name begins with an S and it feels super matchy. I thought of Sylvan, Silas, Silvius, Silvano.. nothing works lol. Other option is honouring my grandmother (Viera) with the name Vero. Is it too matchy with West??

Would love to hear your opinions and some suggestions! I like names with an european feel since I'm myself from Europe. :)

I don’t think Luca is too short with Benjamin, especially as Benjamin is very likely to become Ben before he leaves school.
