Really stuck for boy names

I already have a daughter called Eleanor nn. Ellie

The boys names I instinctively like without thinking are Elijah and Elliot which clearly won't work with Ellie.

I also really like Max but my surname is May so Max May sounds like a dodgy superhero.

Husband likes Robert nn. Bobby but I don't like it.
We both sort of like Arthur but I'm still not 100%.

Looking for some inspiration for names that will go with both sibling name and surname.

I think I like the L sound best in a name to go with Eleanor.
