Ernest is fab. Merle is almost cruel. A tough name to style out.

I like Ernest - not keen on Merle.

How about Hugh, Lawrence, Dominic, Gregory, Wilfred, Timothy, Robert or Simon?

I quite like Erasmus too, but no-one else does

How about Conrad?

Merle makes me think collie dog, I'm afraid.

Merle is often used as a female name - eg famous ballerina Merle Park. It
means 'blackbird'.

I would look at Eli and think El-ee or El-i. I think you might prefer it pronounced EEl-i?
