A brother for Elodie?

We chose Elodie because we thought it was really pretty and uncommon where we live, and because we loved it as soon as we heard it, not because it was French, and now we've found out our next dc is a boy we're a bit stumped! There's no name that totally jumps out at us as "the one" like Elodie's did and our long term favourite boys name was taken by a very close friend!

We quite like the idea of a Biblical name or another French name, but we have a double barrelled surname so don't want anything too pretentious.

Any suggestions?!

My 3 year old Elodie has a 15 week old brother called Felix (middle name George). We didn't like any other names & altho we didn't find out we assumed it was a girl again as pg was identical - so Felix it was.

Elodie is never shortened, she will correct people but if it gets shortened at school I might steer here towards Dee.

I think Elodie and Arthur go really well. Not French per se, but think it's quite popular in France at the mo.

Otherwise:

Xavier
Olivier
Gabriel
Anton
Leo
Oscar
Marius

Didn't realise my Predictatext changed Kit to Jen! Kit is really cute and I like Arthur too.

I think dh and I are leaning towards Reuben, maybe Reuben Jude or Reuben Theo, what do you think?

I have a Claude and thoroughly recommend it.
Also thought Silas might work nicely
