Ernest - yes so do I! Is it your DS's name? I love it because it's old fashioned and just different from the bog standard names.

Message - love Hector!

I think ernest is a fine name

Ah! See I always think that most childrens names will be shortened or nn made for them.
So Ernest would be Ernie - which is pretty cool (well I think so......)
Albert to Berite / Albie
Arthue to Art
Theodore to Theo

My DH is George and he always liked that you couldn't shorten his name, so we thought long and hard and chose Hector but even at 7 he is know as Hec to his friends.....

Theodore
Albert
Ernest
Arthur

Theodore is my fave from your list - lots of options for nns too, so would suit all ages.

Yes that is what I try and imagine as well! Or a 25 year old out at a bar. "My name is [insert name], can I buy you a drink." Not sure Ernest would quite cut it!!

I always imagine what a 14 year old would be like. A 14 yr old called Ernest? Names that are cute for babies may not work out for a hollister wearing dj-wannabe teenage. I like Theodore. Theo is a cool name.
