Ernest: Been dead here for a long time and likely to remain so. I sure enough wouldn't use it or want to be called it.
Frank: I kind of have a soft spot for it, but I doubt I'd even use it as a middle name. It would be funny in an awful kind of way to have brothers named Frank and Ernest, like the comic strip.
Ivor: Never caught on here and I'm glad.
Edmund: Stiff and cold and unpleasant.
Arnold: Totally dorky, and not in a nice way.
Edgar: Creepy and sly.
Douglas: It's not terible but the full name sounds so stuffy and pompous, and Doug sounds so puffed-up and fake-macho.
Victor: I can't really say I love it, but it's not awful. Has a bit of a creepy vibe.
Edwin: Weak, limp, sleazy.
Clarence: This is pretty nice. It's handsomest on a black man.
