I know 2 male Jesses.
None of them have ever had a problem with people confusing it with Jessie.

I love Biblical names, I have one and my kids each have one.
I love most of your list, but I would echo a pp. How Biblical do you want to go? Are you very each Jeremiah or just a nod to eg Daniel?

From your list I like:
Anna
Elizabeth
Esther
Keziah - my favourite
Lydia
Martha

Alexander
Asher
Ethan we discounted this because a lot of people round here would say eeffun & I'd hate it
Ezra
Joel
Levi
Lucas
Micah
Nathaniel same issue as Ethan but could use Nate most of the time
Reuben
Zachariah

My all-time favourite biblical boys names are Isaiah & Zephaniah, personally. For a girl I'd use either Keziah or Tabitha. DH, OTOH, prefers the Matthew/Elizabeth type names. We had so much trouble naming our DC!
