They have named the baby Ernest as it has an easy translation into Portuguese as well.

Ernest sounds better. It's old fashioned, but it's completely timeless. I also like Stanley, but I prefer Ernest.

Ernest Ernest Ernest!! I love the seriousness of this name. It's also more classic, and international, than Stanley. I hope they go for Ernest :)
