RachR Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Nothing a woman says surprises me anymore. Now you mean to tell me someone is not going to date a guy because of his name?????????????? I dated girls with ugly names but I didn't let it bother me. The name ROSE is ugly You're probably the only person who thinks that name is ugly. Lol 1
Author skweezd Posted March 18, 2013 Author Posted March 18, 2013 I dated an Ernie. So Rach, you got past the name with a more mature thinking. So I see hope for him. Thank you.
Green Light Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I never said I would dump the guy What if he had an enlarged spleen?
PhillyDude Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 They were that judgmental back in "my day"! Why doesn't he just call himself something exotic like "Ernesto"? or E-Love? lol 1
dasein Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Imagine he would do much better with the ladies if his name were Jeffrey, John, Charles, Ted, Richard even if his last name were Dahmer, Gacy, Manson, Bundy or Speck. Women are simply too unfettered by real concerns to ponder on and fret about today. Maybe we do need an apocalypse.
Divasu Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 My friends and I used to joke on whether or not the first name passes the bedroom talk test. "Oh Ernieeeeee". Ernie? Yeah, that's tough. But, don't let it be a deterrent!
Green Light Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 My friends and I used to joke on whether or not the first name passes the bedroom talk test. If the guy's name was "Dick" he wouldn't know what part of him you were screaming at in pleasure. 1
kaylan Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I think it is a horrible name. Not surprised. Especially considering the lack of maturity many of your posts show. Id love to know your name:laugh:
kaylan Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Ehh I woudn't go that far. Remember that nut job named Mandangalo from that one episode of Blnd Date? lol That right? The problem wasnt his name. It was his attitude and the stupid character he pretended to be. 1
ScreamingTrees Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I know someone who dated an Ernie. What's so bad about the name "Ernest"? Nothing. It's a nice name. Anyone who feels the need to bash a name, get over yourselves. 1
kaylan Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I wish I had a friend name Ernest. I would constantly make Ernest movie jokes haha. Like if hes going on vacation, Id say in a corny comedic movie voice "Ernest goes on Vacation....rated pg" lolz 1

camillalev Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I mean, if my friend was trying to set me up on a blind date and said, "You need to meet my friend Ernie, he's a really nice guy," I don't know if I'd bite. But if I just met him and there was chemistry or we had a great conversation it wouldn't matter. I guess it's a bit unfortunate because the name Ernie is closely tied to the idea of puppets and nerds - which isn't very sexy. But ultimately, it's just a name, doesn't matter. Btw IS Ernie nerdy? 1
SJC2008 Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Ernie is a normal name IMO. Not as common as other names but it's a name we've ALL heard before. I seriously doubt that's his problem like the 21 year old said, sounds like a chick that weirds out way to easy!

Anyway, ever hear of Ernest Hemmingway? I think the name Ernest is a strong, classic name. I feel sorry for my future son. He's probably going to be named Faust or some sh*t. 1
Divasu Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I feel sorry for my future son. He's probably going to be named Faust or some sh*t. Just don't name him Chester.
ascendotum Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 If the guy was named Cecil or Ceril then I could understand the weird factor a bit more. Not too many names would put me of, but if I was going to be set up on a blind date and woman in question has some old time name it would put me off. Names like..Mavis, Mabel, Myrtle, Esther, Patsy, Nettie, Edna, Ethel, Sybil, Gertrude. (ugh. I'd have visions of my old aunties or grand parent's friends..way to hose down any sexy expectations) 1
amazingdrummer Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I will date a guy whatever his name is, even Dicky.
Radu Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Have you ever watched Seinfeld or Sex in the City and all the ridiculous reasons they threw people away? There are people who live their lives like it is a sitcom. Good point. Also, Rose is a complete turnoff for me. Because it reminds me of Rosalinda. And those awefull soap operas that came over in the mid 90's. But i'd probably get over it, if otherwise she was ok. On the other hand a girl who couldn't get past something like a guy named Ernie and used that as a reason, would be a complete and total turnoff. Mostly because it reminds me of Sex and the City and Seifeld.
ls32ssibm Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Like what? I can't wrap my mind around this. Bertha, Mildred, Joyce... names that make it seem like you are banging grandma.
DollWelch Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 I know someone who dated an Ernie. What's so bad about the name "Ernest"? Nothing. It's a nice name. Anyone who feels the need to bash a name, get over yourselves. I agree. Quite a few (young) women may be superficial when it comes to names. Men too, believe it or not. I think the issue stems from the fact that these women may not be comfortable calling out his name, "Ernie", when they are intimate. Or in a large crowded room. They may feel shy and insecure. And speaking of insecurity, maybe a name like "Ernie" brings out their insecurities. That's my guess. 1
ThaWholigan Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 My name is fantastic, chicks love my name. Clue: It's the name of the fictional promised land in The Matrix.
El Brujo Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Let's not forget Ernie Kovacs. He was a big-time comedian years ago. A very famous puzzle cube was invented by a guy named Erno Rubik (a funny Hungarian version of Ernie). Seriously, though... it's tough enough getting dates without name disadvantages. Enoch sounds a lot like eunuch... and you don't want to be around when a girl tells her parents she's dating a guy named Igor. Of course, women can be stuck with lousy names too. I've yet to meet a Hazel who isn't older than most western countries.
