Rupert as a brother for Freya?

Hi!
Currently pregnant with baby 2, a boy. Our daughter is called Freya, middle name Rose. We've decided to call our son Rupert, middle name Michael.
Just wondering on people's thoughts on whether Rupert goes well with Freya as a sibling name or not? Already know our family are probably going to think Rupert is a bit of a strange name as it is usually old men with this name, or makes them think of the bear, but this is the name we love and have decided on so they will have to get used to it😁 (not sharing until he is born to avoid potential unnecessary/rude comments from them though)
I guess what I'm asking really is that if we met for the first time and I said "my kids are called/ oh and here are my kids, Freya and Rupert", would you think they sound weird together at all? Just curious as Rupert is so different to Freya.
Obviously I am not choosing names to make sure they match/are a set, none of my siblings names are similar style to mine/match mine, nor my partner's siblings or a lot of my family members, it's just names the parents liked. Just want to make sure it doesn't sound too silly when said together!
Thank you😀

I’m not keen at all on Rupert, but thankfully we all have different tastes!

I like both names and think they sound lovely together.
