Astrid &… ?

Need a boy name to go with it!

our last name is very common and one syllable (eg Jones)

need a Boy and a Girl name now.

pretty much set on Astrid for girl but struggling with a boy name…

I really like Edwin but DH is on the fence.
He likes Oliver but I’m not keen ( sweet but a bit boring IMO)
Etienne also an option but not sure it’s “the one”

we already have 2 DS both with names that are recognisable but not commonly heard and a little old fashioned (think Albert, Cecil… similar to these)

any suggestions?

Monty or Bertie would have been my boys' names but I had 2 girls!

Leonidas came to mind, so I suppose that's Leonard, Leonid or Leo.

Star and meteor shower. Two different bright celestial objects.

The Leonid meteor shower is most active in November, if relevant.

Thanks for your input but I’m not looking for an opinion on the name Astrid, just something to go with it.

I have an Astrid! She has 2 sisters though. My unused boy list included:
Torben
Logan
Caspar
Benedict
Roger
Joseph
Jasper

Which I realise is a slightly random mix but there we go!

The Astrids I know have an Edmund, Theo and a Nathan as brothers

Having never met an Astrid before, it seems to be the name of the moment here, with 3 newish babies across 2 baby groups.

My Astrid is 7.

Boys names I like:

Ezra
Loki
Sebastian

To be honest we really struggled with boy names, and had picked 'Mordecai' which I've gone off now.
