[Opinions] Re: Ernestina / Ernestine
in reply to a message by Capucine
In theory, I really like it. In practice, it seems like a lot to ask someone to pull off (*says the person who loves Albert Octavian...*).
I've actually considered this name from time to time because it would be honoring someone in my family, but I always talk myself out of it.
I wouldn't say it is "frumpy," just...heavy. It would take the exact right personality to pull it off, I think. And that's a big gamble to take, you know?

LOL, same story here ;-)
I really want to use either Ernestina or Ernestine because it would honour someone (in my family) who is enormously important to me.
I'm just not sure if the world's ready for the return of the Ernestines... Then again, she might take the same route as Matilda (at least I hope so)...
Thing is, I think she's too pretty to be hidden in the middle name spot... Hmmmm.
