Is Ernie acceptable in 2022?

[RainCheckMate]

Will Ernie lead to teasing or is it no different to other nickname names like Archie and Alfie?

Are there any names other than Ernest where Ernie could be the NN?

Ernie is cute! I run a business where I personalise children’s clothing and I’ve done 4 Ernies in the last 6 months. Very unusual though and I love it!

I know a baby Erroll.

Lol Ernie 😆

Not my taste as all but don't think he'd be teased - it fits in at the moment

I’ve named my son Ernest (2023) other than the fastest milk cart in the west everyone loves it… he would only be bullied for his name if he lets it happen and with all the made up names out there I’m sure he will laugh it off

I immediately thought of Ernie, the fastest milkman in the West. Then again, I am 60. I know 2 men named Ernest which I think is a nice name. They dont shorten their names.

Ernie & Bert

I think it's lovely

Noted this is a 2022 thread, but didn't Princess Eugenie name her little one Ernest in 2023? It may well become more popular.
