Help! Expecting a boy in May and can’t decide on name - Arlo or Xander?

Hi all, I’m expecting a boy in May and for the life of me I can’t decide on a name for him. We have a couple of names but nothing that we are 100% certain on. We already have an almost 18-month old daughter who’s name is Autumn so we’re looking for something that also compliments her name. So far we like Arlo and Xander.. previously had Ace on the list but thinking that may be more of a middle name option? Anyway, thoughts would be very welcome for both first and middle names 😊

Not keen on either. They both sound a bit pretentious.

I love both but would probably pick Arlo

I much prefer Xander. And Autumn and Xander are a lovely pair. Arlo is quite over-used and I don't like the sounds.

Love Arlo
If you like Arlo how about Hugo, Milo or Otto
