Help[Opinions] Osbert

Osbert Emilio
Osbert Eugene
Osbert Felix
Osbert Fidel
Osbert Finnian
Osbert Geoffrey
Osbert George

Osbert Henry
Osbert Horatio
Osbert Hugo

Winsome fustiness, ftw!!
I like these ones:
Osbert Eugene - This is so nerdy and unfortunate that it's almost cool
Osbert Geoffrey - I can feel his self-righteousness already! I love it! This would be the perfect silently disapproving butler name.
Osbert Julian (I like this!) - me too. Though not as much as....
Osbert Leo - Amazing!! The Leo adds hipness, energy and strength.
Osbert Louis - I like this if it pronounced the French way. This is so classy I can hardly stand it.
Osbert Malcolm - Another amazing one. So very very stiff-upper-lippy
Osbert Milo - Almost had a heart attack. This one is adorable. Might be my favourite.

Love it.
I adore obscure Anglo-Saxon names like this -- the kind that were popular as revivial names in Victorian England and then poked fun at by P.G. Wodehouse. I have a particular love of Os- names like Oswald and Oswin, so Osbert fits right in.
My favorite combinations from your list are ones like:
Osbert Geoffrey (--> Godfrey?)
Osbert Hugo
Osbert Lionel
Osbert Nigel
What fun, what? Could Osbert's (nn Bertie) siblings fail to be Sacheverell and Eustace, Edith and Clotilda? Loads of historic fun.
