I know they both sound a little 'fusty' to some people, but I thought it was definitely going to be Ernest - now quite like Albert!!!
What is the general feel?

Sorry I only think of Sesame Street Bert and Ernie.
By all means pick something unusual but maybe try and avoid names that invite jokes? I have a friend who called her son Victor and I still struggle with it a bit TBH.
If they are family names it seems to me they are just screaming out to be middle names?
