Eric as in Eric and Ernie?

[TatianaLarina]

Quite.

As in Eric Sykes - it’s an old man’s name.

[stopbeingadramallama]

I love the name Eric!

[DiegoMadonna]

It's gone from 234th in the ONS national rankings to 147th in the last five years, and most of the replies on here have been positive about it, so I'm pretty sure it's not going to be an old man's name for much longer.

Names are cyclical and Eric is definitely on its way back in
