For a brother: Knox, Crew, Ford, Nash.
For a sister: Remi, Arya, Blair, Remy. These share Tate's style and level of familiarity without rhyming or starting with the same letter.

Does Tate need a sibling name of the same origin?
It helps but is not required. Another Old Norse name (like Tate) gets a small scoring bonus because shared roots read as deliberate, but a strong style match with Tate matters more either way.
