Please help us decide on our second baby boy's name. Our DS1 is called Arlo so we need a name that compliments his name and have come up with the above short list. The birth certificate would full version where appropriate (ie. Edward, Frederick or Charles).
Your thoughts would be really appreciated. Or any alternatives that might work.

I prefer Charlie but it is very popular if that bothers you. Though Charles/Charlie has a similar sound to Arlo due to the 'arl' bit.
Eddie and Freddie are both nice.
Elias probably fits more with your DS1's name style if you're after a 'set' though personally I'm not a huge fan of Elias - just don't think it rolls off the tongue easily if you're calling it across the school yard.
Just out of interest is Arlo only Arlo or is there a longer version that it's short for?
