Middle name for Eugene?

I’m really into the name [name_m]Eugene[/name_m]. My husband and I like [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], but it’s been over-used in our circle so we need another, similar style name. We came across [name_m]Eugene[/name_m] and love that it has an antique, old-man vibe and we don’t know any babies named [name_m]Eugene[/name_m]. It also has family ties for us.

I realize it’s not everyone’s style, but we really, really, really like it. My question is, what middle name would suit an [name_m]Eugene[/name_m]? I’m envisioning something more modern, but am having trouble finding something we love. I like [name_m]Eugene[/name_m] [name_u]Riley[/name_u] and [name_m]Eugene[/name_m] [name_m]Vance[/name_m]. Any other suggestion? Thanks in advance!

[name_m]Eugene[/name_m] [name_u]Riley[/name_u] is strong! Others:

[name_m]Eugene[/name_m] [name_u]Francis[/name_u]
[name_m]Eugene[/name_m] [name_m]Grant[/name_m]
[name_m]Eugene[/name_m] [name_u]Wade[/name_u]
[name_m]Eugene[/name_m] [name_m]Kipp[/name_m]
[name_m]Eugene[/name_m] [name_m]Cole[/name_m]

Oh I really like [name_m]Kipp[/name_m], [name_m]Cole[/name_m], and [name_u]Wade[/name_u]. The initials EW slightly bother me, but not enough to completely rule it out. Thanks for the suggestions!
