Help us choose our boy name

DH and I are having a hard time deciding on our boy name. These are our top picks right now. Middle name will be Nicholas. Our last name is two syllables ending in "berg." I would love to know what your first impressions are when you read the name. We're open to opinions/suggestions too. Thanks!

    Oh boy, great names!! Love Oliver and Henry, both are becoming popular but if it doesn't bother you than both are great options. Oscar is also great, I'm not a huge fan, it's just not my style. Winston is pretty awesome actually, some might think too stuck up though. Owen is kind of in a different league from the others imo...very common.

    As PP said Owen is not up there with the others

    No periods due to 17 years of ballet and distance running after college.  Zero response to 2 months of Clomid, little response to Letrozole.  IUI left with 9 cysts = too many viable eggs due to age.  On to IVF.  Low dose of all meds still produced 37 mature eggs 12.6.11.  Froze due to overstimulation.  

    FET #1.1 1.22.12 BFN.   FET #1.2 2.22.12=GRACE! (and a vanishing twin).  

    Grace Katherine born 10.25.12 @ 36w6w 6#14oz 19.5".
    FET #1.3 3.2013 BFN FET#1.4 4.2013 BFN. Never tried a fresh transfer.  Let's try, despite 10 still frozen.  
    ER 6.26.13 27 mature eggs, slight overstim. ET   7.1.13 ectopic, FET 2.1  9.10.14   TRIPLETS!!  

    Boys born 3.18.14 @ 29w5d.  Andrew Jack 3#6oz 16", Grant Robert 3#9oz 16", Charles Phillip 3#7oz 17".

    I would keep Winston, Oliver and Henry and toss Owen and Oscar. They don't seem in the same group of names and not convinced how they sound with Nicholas.

    Modern twist: Oliver Nicholas ...berg
    Classic: Henry Nicholas ...berg
    Stands out: Winston Nicholas ...berg

    My vote goes for Henry followed by Oliver

    Winston is the only one I don't like.

    Love Oscar! The other three are all pretty popular/common, but I prefer Owen.

    Thanks for the feedback! We are now stuck between Winston, Oliver and Henry. I can see from the votes that Winston is not as well-liked. What impression does that name give?

    I have a good connotation from it because I had a very good friend named Winston.

    Honestly? I think of a snooty butler.. But that's totally unfair because I've never known a Winston IRL. I'm sure if I met a baby Winston it'd be cute.
