Brother name for Arthur

Due baby number 2 in the summer and would love brother name suggestions to compliment Arthur.

We love strong, traditional names but not too old fashioned.

TIA!!

Alexander, depending how you feel about two A names. Does Arthur have a middle name?

Is Harold too old fashioned? I think of it as an over-looked classic, that shortens really well to Harry.

Otherwise I quite like Frederick or Edward with Arthur.

Edwin or Edmund, or maybe Alfred would work.
