Biblical boy names

For our second little one, we're looking for another biblical name (one you don't hear so often). Our son is named j.u.d.a.h. We're currently considering:
Jenoah
Elias (but how do you pronounce it, where does the stress fall?)
Ilya
Caleb
Gideon
Elijah (how do you pronounce it?)
Ismaël
I'm curious, but I'd also love your reactions to these names, especially combined with the oldest brother's. Other ideas are welcome too! But nothing too standard… I find Daan, Luc, Ruben, etc. very nice. But I'm looking for something a bit more unique.

    Judah and Jonas?

    I know a boy and a girl named Noa(h), so Jenoah sounds a bit weird to me. Also, I think Judah and Jonah look too much alike, as mentioned above with that -ah ending; I find that nicer for twins, for example. Maybe Jacob? He was the father of Judah in the Bible. Or Benjamin, who was Judah's youngest brother.

    Jenoah or Noah, I think they're both really beautiful!!!!
    I'd go for one of those two!

    I also think Elias is super! I know a boy named Elias, and here it's pronounced as Eéliejas!

    Also, I think Micha is really beautiful! (This one was on our list back then)!

    Good luck!

    Joas, Matheus, Simeon.
    I also think Noah is really nice, but there are so many girls named Noa now, so I find him less appealing.

    Do you really write Judah with all those dots in between?
    I vote for Elias!

    Levi

    Maybe David, Aaron, Benjamin, or Tobias, Lucas, Nicolas, or Ruben?

    I also really like Elias! I wouldn't choose a name with the same first letter as your first child, but that's just personal.. Good luck!!

    Jenoah is nice! Gideon and Elias too! I find the rest of your options less appealing!
    Joab
    Joas
    Jephthah
    Timon
    Michael
    Dan
    Asher
    Matthias

    What do you think of Samuël? I personally think it's a great name!

    Amos, Chanan, Jethro, Moses, Gideon, Justus, Timon, Jephthah

    I know someone who named her son Jerret. According to her, it was a biblical name.
