What do you think of....

Sterling Nicholas R. For a little boy? His brother is Wyatt.  Right now our top contenders are: Griffin, Phoenix, Sawyer and Sterling...but we are still open.  Sterling is the current fave.

HATE Sterling. Sounds pretentious, snooty...

I picture a butler or a spoiled wealthy boy at a high class boarding school, with parents who think they are above others do to class.

Love Nicholas. Don't mind Sawyer. Really dislike the others.

I have a son named Sterling Michael. I didn't name him (he is adopted) but, the name has grown on me a lot over the years. I like Sterling the best from your list.

Just for fun, here is my Sterling :)

I like it.  It is a strong name, easily pronounced, and easily spelled.

I automatically think of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce from Mad Men. Nicholas would be a much better FN, IMO.

Not a fan, sorry. Sawyer is NMS, but I think it would make a good sibset with Wyatt.

I really don't care for Sterling. I like Nicholas. Griffin and Sawyer are ok. Better than Sterling, IMO.

I don't like Sterling. Out of the first names you listed, I like Sawyer the best, although I'm not a big fan. Nicholas is great!

Sterling is one of those nouveau riche names that I hate, sorry. It seems like an odd sibset paired with Wyatt which seems very country to me...sort of opposite ends of the spectrum kwim?

I think the other 3 make much more sense with Wyatt. I'd lean towards Griffin though, I like the subtle theme that they both have a letter doubled. :)

I like it! I also had a very attractive waiter with this name once so I have a good association! Don't like Griffin but I do like Phoenix & Sawyer!!

I'm a fan of Sterling, but, yeah, Mad Men. I do like Nicholas Sterling better than Sterling Nicholas.

I'm not a Sterling fan.  It reminds me of the cartoon Archer.  The main character is Sterling Archer and he's a douchecanoe.  And it seems very, very pretentious.

Sawyer I like.

And WashingtonQueen, I will make an exception for your Sterling because he is a-freaking-dorable!
