I've grown substantially fond of Ernestine (NN Nettie) -- I delight in Ernestine's lavish sophistication and Nettie's sportive simplicity.

WDYTO the following combinations?

Ernestine Violet
Ernestine May
Ernestine Maeve
Ernestine Adele
Ernestine Maude
Ernestine Blythe
Ernestine Clare
Ernestine Poppy
Ernestine Willow
Ernestine Lily
Ernestine Lilac
Ernestine Olivia (I'm not especially fond of Olivia; however, I think it complements Ernestine quite well.)
Ernestine Daisy
Ernestine Viola
Ernestine Juliet
Ernestine Julitta
Ernestine Johanna
Ernestine Susannah
Ernestine Mathilda / Matilda

You know, even just a year ago I would've hated the name Ernestine! But now I look at it and I think it's gorgeous ;-) Maybe not enough to make my PNL but I do find it quite lovely, especially with the nn Nettie! Very cute and, in this day, very fresh!

Of your suggested combos, I like, from most to least:

Ernestine Clare
Ernestine Maeve
Ernestine May
Ernestine Juliet
Ernestine Susannah
Ernestine Olivia - sweet, but I like Ernestine Olive better!
Ernestine Violet
Ernestine Lily
Ernestine Adele
Ernestine Poppy
Ernestine Lilac
Ernestine Daisy
Ernestine Viola
Ernestine Blythe

I don't like at all:

Ernestine Mathilda / Matilda
Ernestine Maude
Ernestine Julitta
Ernestine Johanna
Ernestine Willow
