Personally, I think Julian Gabriel is a nice name.
"J" names for boys are strong and masculine sounding, and even the oldest "J" names still sound modern.
Congratulations in advance, because Annabella Jade is a lovely name as well.

I generally prefer Julian as the first name -- only because of Noah's current (and fast-rising) popularity -- but I absolutely love the significance of Jude and Aloysious. And seriously ... how many parents can use the cool/quirky Aloysious/Aloysius with such good reason? Was your grandfather's name spelled with the second "o," by the way, or was that simply a typo for the traditional Aloysius form? Either way, it's a great name (though I'd lean toward the slightly more familiar Aloysius spelling ... but by all means keep grandpa's spelling, if you wish!). ;) It's a wonderful honor.
To be perfectly honest, I don't particularly care for the different A sounds so close together in Noah Aloysious anyway, and with Jude also being a commonly-used pet form of Julian, I think the combo Julian Aloysious would be the most meaningful, attractive option here! ;) That would get my vote in a heartbeat.
Ps. Since Jade is only one letter off Jude -- and Jude occasionally used for females anyway -- have you considered going all out and using Annabella Jude as your girl option? After all, the gender issue isn't problematic at all in the middle name slot, and if you're going to use a nearly-identical name anyway, might as well make it mean something. :) Just a thought.

Noah Jude is so strong! And I really like the idea of naming a child after his father in some way.
(and Annabella Jade is Gorgeous!)

I love Julian, but it might get a little confusing with Jude for a dad. Of your choices, Noah Jude gets my vote.
I'm going to offer up Gabriel Aloysious. I like Aloysious as a middle name, but I don't like it with Noah. The fun of Aloysious gets lost with the too similar sounds of Noah.

Annabella Jade is very pretty! However, when it comes to boys' names, I'm not fond of any of those names but Jude. I guess Noah Jude would be my pick. While it is nice to honor your grandfather, Aloysius is a hard name to give a child born nowadays. Even as a middle name, which almost no one uses, it can be a difficult name to be beholden with. If you want to honor your grandfather, maybe there is an "A" name you can use to represent him. That's what we've done in my family. My cousin was named Sinclair to honor my grandmother Sally.
Good luck!

based on liking the names, and nothing else, I like Julian Gabriel the best. But since Noah Jude honors your Husband, I think that's a great choice. Aloysious is a mouth-full!
