Names for a brother for Wilfred

[Bun1nTheOven]

I’m expecting baby number 2 and struggling for boy names of similar style/tone to our son’s name: Wilfred.

Names we love but can’t have due to friends/family connection: Arthur, Edward, Vincent and Albert. Girl names we love are Beatrice and Matilda.

I like all the variations we have with Wilfred so would like a name that also has options for nicknames etc. I prefer classic to modern.

Surname begins with G.

Thanks all 🙏🏼

Wilfred and.
