A brother for Elodie?

We chose Elodie because we thought it was really pretty and uncommon where we live, and because we loved it as soon as we heard it, not because it was French, and now we've found out our next dc is a boy we're a bit stumped! There's no name that totally jumps out at us as "the one" like Elodie's did and our long term favourite boys name was taken by a very close friend!

We quite like the idea of a Biblical name or another French name, but we have a double barrelled surname so don't want anything too pretentious.

Any suggestions?!

I like James. Elodie and James sounds lovely, but it isn't a 'different' name.

It reminds me of the tenacious little kangaroo in Winne the Pooh Smile

I know a Reuben but we call him "Roo", its very cute I must admit.

Oh, Louis is nice, I hadn't thought of that. Reuben is the only one that me and dh have sort of agreed on, do you think it could be shortened to Ben?
