The main problem with some of your lineup is that the flow would just be "off" with them as a middle name. Juliana Lena just sounds incredibly clunky for instance. Still a nice name but they don't flow well together and a good combo needs good flow. One of the ways to achieve this is to select an iambic middle name. An iambic name means that the stress is on the second syllable. Which is why Marie is such a common US female middle because the average person doesn't know as many iambic names let alone consciously aware of the phenomenon of its usage. When in doubt other French names cover the bases for this. Some examples of iambic middle names include:

---

Juliana Celine
Juliana Cosette
Juliana Colette
Juliana Odette
Juliana Nadine
Juliana Yvette
Juliana Adele
Juliana Celeste
Juliana Rochelle
Juliana Brigitte
Juliana Clarisse
Juliana Roxanne
Juliana Suzanne
Etc.

Sometimes it doesn't have to be iambic it & it just has to have the right cadence. Sometimes this is achieved by having a different sounding suffix to the middle name. Which is why Elizabeth is another very common middle.

Juliana Elizabeth
Juliana Naomi
Juliana Christine
Juliana Nicolette
Juliana Bernadette
Juliana Dominique
