Oh yes!!! Ernest is my absolute favourite male name. For some reason it doesn't seem to be very popular. It's really handsome and gentle. It's pleasantly dated, like Clara or Alice, and I think it suits someone of any age and has a kind of dreamy nostalgic feel. I like that it seems very English but works in many languages. Ernest is totally a gentleman explorer. And I think the meaning is great. Ernie is OK and Ern is cute too, although I prefer just Ernest. It's a name I would think about using. The only thing that bothers me slightly is the word nest in the name. It's worse if you spell it Earnest.
Oh, and Ernie reminds me of Morecambe and Wise :)
