J & S Names for Boys & Girls

[marshian]

Hi there! I've been lurking a while and hope the baby name gurus can lend a hand. 90% sure we'll be naming our first in honor of H's grandfather, which in Jewish tradition for his family means using either his first or last initial. We're team green so need both boy and girl names. Initial options are J and S. Give me all you've got and when we start narrowing it down, I'll be back!

So far on my list:

Jacqueline
Jade
Josephine
Josette
Juliet / Juliette

Sandrine
Sarina - BehindTheName doesn't find it, but according to other sites it has Hebrew origins
Scarlett
Selene
Stella
Susette / Suzette

Jadon
Jameson
Jaron
Jasper
Jefferson
Jonas

Samson
Saul
Sebastian / Sebastien
Solomon
Sterling

I love Jacqueline, Jade and Josephine (DD's name).

We also considered Johanna (jo-haun-ah) and Jolene

I like Scarlett and Stella, but they seem very on trend to me, which is fine.

Adding Samantha, Sarah and Selah.

I don't love the J boy name choices- Jasper is OK.

Suggesting Joel, James, Jacob

Love Sterling!
