Brother for Mathilde

Hi all! We’re very stuck for a name for baby boy. We already have daughter Mathilde. Husband and I have quite different tastes in names, I like more unusual names whereas he likes traditional names. He’s dual citizenship French and English, hence the French name for our daughter but that’s not necessarily important for the next name. What names do you think sound nice with Mathilde? Please any and all recommendations.
For some context, husband really likes Toby but it’s too common for my liking. I love Jasper, Seren, Kit, Jude, but don’t think they match with Mathilde and husband isn’t keen on any of them either. If we were to have a girl we agreed on Margot. Let’s hear what you think!

Paul. Works well on French and English but probably not aspirational enough for some tastes.

I like Jude. Agree with Sebastian. Maybe Oscar? Saul? I think Seren is a girl's name typically?

Mathilde is lovely, and Margot is perfect with it for a girl.

I think Toby goes nicely. I think Jasper or Christopher nn Kit go nicely too.
