We are having a boy!

We just found out yesterday we are having our second boy!  Everyone guessed girl so it was a bit of a lovely surprise!  However, we had girl names narrowed down to two and have NO boy names we like!  Coming here for suggestions!  With your help, we had girls names narrowed down to - Elise and Eliza.  DS1 name is Joel, taken from DH's grandfather Joseph (went by Joe) and his father Les (who doesn't really like his name so just a nod).  DS1's middle name is my father's first name, Andrew.  We love it, he still has his own name, but honors those important to us.  It is easy to spell/pronounce, however its not very common.
   We are stumped with #2!  DH thinks we need to stick to a "J" name, however doesn't like any that I have said (think reading ALL of the J suggestions from a baby name book)  It is either too out there, "not a name", he knows someone with that name, too hard to pronounce/spell.  He also doesn't want an obvious nickname (our only naming "trend" as all three of our names are nickname-less).  All three of our names are also biblical, but we aren't set on that again.   As this will likely be our last child, DH doesn't want to stray too far from our current "name flow".  Last name rhymes with Burner (with a T).  

To summarize criteria: Easy to spell if heard, pronounce if seen, no obvious NN, not too popular or out there.  Optional: Biblical, "J" start

Names I have suggested that have been vetoed:
Jared
Jude*
Jules*
Jalen
Jeremy
Jamie
Jonas
Seth *
Caleb*
Ethan
Evan

Thank you for any suggestions you have!
