DD isn't due until Mach 1st but it's never too early to think about names!
Any ideas on a name that would go with DS's name Joel?
Middle will probably be Elizabeth after DH's gramma and last name ends in ston (2 syllables).
I don't want a super popular name but am not a fan of anything too unique either. Names are tough!
Here are some we like...
Mila
Leah
Camille
Aubrey
Eva
Shiloh
Jacey
Sarah
Brooke
Carrie
Kelsey
Gia
Aubrey
Reese
Natalie
Whitney

From your list I like Camille, Eva and Sarah.
I also think Elise and Audrey sound nice with J's name.
ETA- Now that I think about it Elise Elizabeth does not really flow. Still pretty with J's name though! Emily is pretty as well though more popular.

If you're looking for J names, the first I thought of were Jessica, Jamie, and Jenna. I also like Josie, but it sounds too similar to Joel to pass my yell test (are they too similar to one another when scolding the kids?).
Eta- somehow your list didn't show up for me at first. I really like Leah, Aubrey, Sarah, and Natalie.

I love that the name jacey is on your list! That is my bff's name and I had never heard it before I met her - I love that choice if you want to keep with J's.

My name is on that list 
I think they are all great names...we are talking about names right now actually, seems so much harder the second time around.

I like Camille, Natalie and Whitney best from your list. I like your style overall, though!

Camille is our girl name (when and if we ever have a girl), so of course I think it's amazing!

I love that everyone picked different favorites from the list 
I have a couple that pull to me but then I second guess...
It's so hard, DH and I couldn't choose a name for J until we saw him...we were tossing names around between contractions!
@bao: I'm curious now!

@Mrsjets: From your list I like Eva, Sarah, Carrie and Reese.
What about Caroline/Carolyn, Emma, Alison, Reagan or Evelyn?

I think you should pull in the L from JoeL to make the names match. It could be anywhere in the name. Mila and Leah work well because they are also 4 letters.

Of your list, my favorites are Mila, Camille, and Eva, and I think those work really well with Joel and with Elizabeth as a middle name.
I think Nora/Norah would work well too--it's one of my favorites but a close friend just used it so it's off our list! Or Lilah/Lila?

@cheesetomywhine: lol I like Emily but I think of Clifford the big red dog when I say Emily Elizabeth
@indi: I'm not going for a J theme but if the name that works starts with J we won't deny it!
@cmomma17: of those names I like Evelyn but I have a close friend with one, boo! My Aunt is Eva so it would be nice to use.
@Mrs. Confetti: I do love Jacey! How does your friend spell it?
@Rainbow Sprinkles: I like it, but have an association with it that will most likely shelf it 
@Mrs. Jacks: those do sound good together
I just noticed I have Aubrey on the list twice...coincidence?

@Mrsjets: I'd be in the same spot with a DD we love Natalie (my grandma), Audrey (my bestie), & Caroline (another famille name).
I had a dream the other night we were expecting a girl and decided on Natalie.

@Mrsjets: Haha I thought of Clifford too but figured it wasn't a bad association
