Alternatively, you can use the backquote mechanism in such situations - it
allows you to evaluate parts of a (back)quoted expression, by preceding them
with commas:

(setq sx-notes-file-name "~/.notes.org")
(setq sx-journal-file-name "~/.journal.org")
(setq org-remember-templates
      `(
        ("Journal" ?j "* %U %?\n\n  %i\n  %a" ,sx-journal-file-name)
        ("Notes" ?n "* %^{Title}\n  %i\n  %a" ,sx-notes-file-name "Notes")
       ))

See

for details.
