We have a Freddie (Frederick, sometimes he's Fred). Expecting another boy. Stumped for names! Single syllable surname. We like

Oliver
Jack
Myles
Dylan
George

But looking for inspiration because none of them seem right!

Some great suggestions thanks so much! The Fred and George Weasley association doesn't bother me at all (but might it bother my boys...??)

I wouldn’t worry personally as I don’t think pairing Fred and George together has made it into the general cultural consciousness the way for example, naming your children Ron and Harry together would (or Harry and Hermione). People often assume everyone has read Harry Potter or watched the films but that’s really not the case. I bet there have been loads of Frederick and George siblings over the years both pre and post Potter- as they are very classic names.

Freddie and George or Freddie and Jack sound good together IMO

I know 4 different families in different parts of the UK who all have a Freddie and a Max. And all the Freddie’s are the older of the 2. So they seem to go well together!

Albert, Alexander, George, Alistair, Robert, William

The younger Freddie’s I’ve met over the years have brother’s called Charlie or Harry (the older ones I know have brothers called Percival, Graham, or John but not sure that’s your taste 🤣 - although personally I do really like classic John). Otherwise I love your suggestion of Jack and would add on similar style Max too.

Another longer name I think would be nice.

I like Jack and Dylan best from your list.

Freddie and George is gorgeous but Fred and George are the Weasley twins in Harry Potter if that bothers you?!

Oliver is massively overused across the age groups around me.

I also like Freddie and

Arthur

Albert / Albie
Joseph / Joey

Toby

Oscar
Harry
Jacob / Jake

I like Oliver and George best from your list, and I think they fit quite well with Freddie too.
