Krystal's name list

Krystal is expecting a little boy this spring, she has a little guy named Hugh scampering around with her in Michigan. (Michigan people love my babynaming skillz...)

She wanted a name that sounded well with Hugh but wasn't common or popular. Hugh has been floating in the bottom of the top 1000 for the past decade, according to the Social Security site. It peaked in the 1890s at #80 but has fallen out of fashion, which ironically, is now in fashion, since uncommon baby names are quite the rage. The middle name will be Samuel. The names I found are definitely old fashioned but nothing that is obsolete or too wonky.

August (Augie, Gus for nicknames)
Baxter
Calvin
Chester
Dexter
Duncan
Ellis
Elton
Everett
Felix
Fletcher
Foster
Forrest
Gerard
Gilbert
Harlan
Jasper
Judson
Kent/Kenton
Lewis
Merritt
Murray
Olin
Otto
Palmer
Pax
Rufus
Rupert
Sander
Stuart
Theo
Vance
Willis (Will)

Any winners?

**UPDATE**
Krystal and her hubby have decided on DEXTER!! YES! I actually helped name a baby!! I can't wait to see pictures of little Dexter Samuel. <3

Of course, I love Everett, but I also realized that I like Palmer and Kenton too! Great list.
