Struggling to decide... Boys name opinions please!

[Buttonface9]

Can't decide between Ernest or Emmett? Opinions please

Both nice. I prefer Ernest

I prefer Ernest. Ernie is cute.

I quite like Emmett.

In my opinion, since you asked, Ernest is truly hideous & Ernie isn't in the least bit 'cute'.

Sorry, both are truly dreadful.

I like Ernest

My brother in law is a Ernest its truly dreadful

Not a fan of either but Ernest of the two

I prefer Emmett, although neither are exactly to my taste.

Don't really like either. In a similar slightly less common 2 syllable names starting with E vein the Welsh name Ellis or Emrys are better.

Or Evan

Ernest

Emmett

Ernest/Ernie is a primary school insult for a stupid person where I live. Kids do this horrible face and say “Eeerrrrrnie!” Or “Eeerrrrnest!” When they think someone has said something stupid. Has been since I was at primary school!

I think of Emmett Till which is just too sad an association for me. So Ernest, but as names neither of them really appeal.

Emmett a million times.

It makes me think of Doc Brown from ‘Back To The Future’, who was a cool, clever guy. The image I have of young Emmett is of being highly intelligent, with a great sense of humour and a slightly kookie style of dressing.

Not so keen on Ernest, except if you are a huge Oscar Wilde fan. In which case, naming him Ernest might be highly important to you!

Ernest is slightly less dreadful than Emmett.
Elliott is nicer.

Not much to choose between them in terms of dreadfulness.

Have you got anything in third place?

Ernest is lovely. I also like Eric and Edgar but am not a fan of Emmett.

Thanks for opinions, we knew the names wouldnt be for everyone! Think I'm swaying towards Ernest.

Poor child

I prefer Ernest.

Ernest

Ernest is a great name! Strong, classic and timeless.

I really like both of them

Ernest probably pips it because nn will be easier and better

Can you let us know which you chose @
