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

tammytoby · 20/11/2014 20:52

Ernest is ok, but I love Austin, Quentin and Vincent!

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.

florascotia · 21/11/2014 18:20

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

What do people think of Eli? It's the only boys name dh has agreed to so far and I'm undecided

tammytoby · 22/11/2014 07:59

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

northernmummeh · 22/11/2014 08:03

Dd was going to be Jesse
I love tot

northernmummeh · 22/11/2014 08:03

Love it...

FlipFlippingFlippers · 22/11/2014 14:20

Pronounced Eee-lie. Can't make my mind up but it is literally the only name dh likes Hmm

mymummademelistentoshitmusic · 22/11/2014 14:21

Ernest isn't great. Merle is bloody hideous.
