Middle name for Eric?

DS1 due in a few weeks' time and we have loved the name Eric from the start, but we cannot think of a nice middle name to go with it, help please!

So far suggestions have included Stanley, Sidney, Quentin but we can't really tell what goes with Eric, any thoughts? Like Wilfred and Wilbur but our surname starts with W so I don't think a W middle name will work unfortunately.

Thanks!

Would DH's name or other significant family member's name/surname be a possibility?

Or - a significant place from your relationship with DH?

I like middle names which are chosen for their significance.

Ooh I really like John James and george so maybe short names work better. Can't use those as already have close family members called all three but there must be other monosyllabic ones i could use. David and simon quite nice too.

Forgot to say, we also like Owen and Rory.

Nothing sounds quite right though. Argh.
