Having another DS...

Found out I'm having another DS. I have DS1 called Ralph.

I want to call him Ernest nn Ernie. I love this but the thought of it becoming popular puts me off.

Any other suggestions would be welcome with the similar style(I've been searching for too long lol)

Didn’t Ernie pull the fastest milk cart in the west?

@KatnissK it was 326th in 2018. Ralph was way out back in 2012 but now its 88th Blush.

I had Stanley for my DS1 but went with Ralph. I love Percy but I've seen on here its slang for penis which has put me off completely Sad

I love Ernie. If popularity bothers you. You take a risk with whatever you choose. You could go for the most obscure name. There's still no 100% guarantee that he w ont be one of three in his class.

More suggestions for you as well, though.
Christopher.
Tristan
Dougie
Hector
Claude
Nicholas
Kevin
Stanley,
Percy.

Ooh is Ernest becoming popular? I like that name and thought it was well out of the top 100. I also like Victor, which I feel has a similar kind of vibe.

I like Rudy and LOVE Marley but I know someone with a Marley so it rules it out.

Ralph is 7, so named him before it become popular. Hence the worry with Ernest lol.

I guess Ralph is getting increasingly popular (though I've never met one)- does that bother you? If it doesn't, maybe it won't bother you about Ernie either?
