I really love Joel right now. I was kind of worried at first because my uncle is named Joel, but he always goes by Joe or Oreo so it's not a huge deal. Anyways, I was thinking Joel Ross (Ross is my mom's maiden name & my older brother's MN). Wdyt? Any other MN suggestions?

I like Joel, but not so much paired with Ross only because they're both one syllable. I like:
Joel Edward
Joel Caleb
Joel Benjamin
Joel Christopher
Joel Silas

Joel is quite nice. I have never met one I didn't like so I have great associations with it that help. The only draw back is that it is quite common where I live and I prefer Joseph and Josiah...couldn't have a Josiah and Joel or a Joseph and Joel.

Joel Ross is a little abrupt but if it has family significance, I think that should take precedence over flow.
