Much prefer Ernest.

In Cornwall, an emmett is a derogatory term for tourists...

I like both. I think Ernest is more classic.

Ernest by a country mile

123Dancewithme · 24/09/2019 00:15

Ernest out of the two. How about Everett?

IncrediblySadToo · 24/09/2019 00:23

Ernest out of the two, but neither would be names I’d choose - but he’s not my baby, so 🤷🏻‍♀️

MrsBertBibby · 24/09/2019 06:46

Neither, sorry!

Grufallosfriends · 24/09/2019 08:18

Those saying 'neither' aren't exactly helping the op in her decision to choose between the two names Wink!

I prefer Ernest. Strong classic name.

MrsP2015 · 24/09/2019 08:47

Ernest as there are only those 2 choices!

Would worry the other would sound like a girl when shortened Em/ Emmy etc

Jellycat00 · 24/09/2019 09:03

I'm not a fan of either to be honest, but Emmett if i had to pick. Ernie as a shortening is pretty unappealing!

VenusClapTrap · 24/09/2019 10:26

Ernest. Fine name.

ladmum · 24/09/2019 10:28

I like Emmett there is good baby name website you could try www.simplybabynames.com

Love Emmett. Great name. In fairness Ernest is a good solid name so unless your surname is Pemmett or Pernest you can't go wrong 😂
