Astrid &… ?

Need a boy name to go with it!

our last name is very common and one syllable (eg Jones)

need a Boy and a Girl name now.

pretty much set on Astrid for girl but struggling with a boy name…

I really like Edwin but DH is on the fence.
He likes Oliver but I’m not keen ( sweet but a bit boring IMO)
Etienne also an option but not sure it’s “the one”

we already have 2 DS both with names that are recognisable but not commonly heard and a little old fashioned (think Albert, Cecil… similar to these)

any suggestions?

Astrid & Elliott does have a lovely ring to it but unfortunately Elliott is not a name we can use

All the little Astrids around here have a brother called Magnus.

Finn was always my boy name if I'd had any boys!
