Baby Names

Boy name help - due in 2.5 weeks

My SO and I cannot agree on a name for our first (his third) and are due in a little over two weeks.  My all-time favorite boy names have either been vetoed or are taken by family members (Jonah, Ezra, Samuel, Eli, Asher, Solomon, Nathan, Isaac).  The baby has felt like a Jonah to me, and I sort of had my heart set on it.  My SO just doesn't love it:-/

We are leaning towards a somewhat more traditional name because the baby's last name will be tricky (last name pronounced "Drypush" but spelled differently).  The only ones we sort of agree on are the following:

-Jacob (nn Coby)
-Jacob (nn Jake)
-Jacob (no nn)
-Noah
-Gabriel (nn Gabe)
-Zeke (no nn)
-Ezekiel (nn Zeke)
-Joseph (nn Joe)

Out of the above list, I think I like Jacob and Noah best, but I'm wondering if they are just too common.  Both are in the top 5 on the Social Security website.  Not sure if I would regret such a common name.    

For middle names I like:  Ronen, Emmett, Saul, Gideon, and Martin (family name).

Would love any thoughts or suggestions!
