Help[Opinions] Re: Ernestine
in reply to a message by Canielle
I had a great great aunt Ernestine (or Earnestine? I've only heard it). Her dad's name was Ernst.
I had a kid named Ernestina in a dream once. She started out as Constantina, but my subconscious decided that wasn't right. The dream was something like a murder mystery.
I'd feel pretty comfortable using it, although occasionally it seems a bit too stern and old-fashioned...I don't dislike this per se, I think it's potentially bold; it just strikes me. I feel similarly about Casper (also a family name), even though that's seemingly in style now. I would probably want to pair Ernestine with something I felt was casual or whimsically elegant.
