It's my first post but don't worry about being gentle! My partner and I were discussing names yesterday. We've got a few girls' names we already really like so I think we're sorted on that front but we're struggling with boys' names. He suggested one that I'm not sure about but promised to think about (it's his favourite and really wants it). It's...ERIC. I really don't want to dismiss it straight away as he likes it so much but I can just imagine the nudges and catty discussions about the name if people get a birth announcement text with that name on it. I don't hate it at all, and in fact for a man I quite like it (keep thinking eric in true blood!) but I can't imagine looking at a little baby and calling him that. Should probably mention that I have Scandinavian family members so eric is a good name for them to be able to pronounce too. Please give me your honest opinions, no matter how horrible, I'd rather know now than later! Thanks for listening xxx
