Help me find a name for Arthur's little brother!

Have one DS, Arthur, and am expecting a second son in the summer.

DH and I only agree on one name! So I'm looking for names in a similar vein to Arthur, or if not similar something that goes well and has a nice vibe.

One caveat: nothing that ends in an 's' or 'x' sound as it would blend into our surname too much.

Please help!

Thanks for the suggestions. I like:
Frank
Edward / Teddy
George (although the vowel sounds are the same as my surname so not sure it really works )
Wilfred
Sidney (DS not keen though, prefers Stanley)
Ernest (this was going to be DS1's name until he was born)

Any others? I'm sure the perfect name is out there, I just have to find it!

Wilfred

Edward or Edwin with Ted as a nn.

two of my grandads were Arthur and Wilfred. And grandad wilf had a brother called Arthur. I think they go lovely together and are both beautiful names.
