Simple and down-to-earth, but would probably work best as a middle name.
Hilton
English
"hill settlement"
Do you really want to name your baby after a hotel? Or a famous-for-being-famous starlet?
Hob
English, diminutive of Robert
"bright fame"
A Robert nickname out of use for hundreds of years, but now sounds cooler than Bob or Rob for a modern boy.
Hobart
English and Dutch variation of Hubert
More user-friendly than the original.

As a surname, it's most familiar as Hearst -- publishing magnate William Randolph and kidnapped granddaughter Patty. Few would use it if it wasn't their own family name.
Horton
English

Sweet and southern-feeling, maybe thanks to Horton Foote, author of Tender Mercies and The Trip to Bountiful, not to mention the Dr. Seuss connection.
Houghton
English
"place in an enclosure"
A family name, a bit haughty.
Howel
English
"land with hills"
The Anglophile Howard.
Howell
English variation of Hywel, an eminent Welsh king
A familiar and usable last name turned first. Or you could look at it as a homophone of the verb howl, which gives it a wilder feel.
Hoyt
English
"long stick"
Distinctive though somewhat abrupt, most prominently borne by country singer Hoyt Axton.
Hubbell
English
"brave heart"
Memorable thanks to the Robert Redford character, Hubbell Gardiner, who captivated the young Barbra Streisand in the classic movie, "The Way We Were", Hubbell is an English surname, likely derived…
