Eric - cute or old man?

DH and I have both agreed we like the name Eric. Both of my grandads were Eric and if we have a boy, I would definitely want it in there somewhere. I thought it would make a good middle name but the more we think about it, the more we like it as a Christian name. Or are we lumbering a baby with an old man's name? Granted, he'll be old some day but still!

You call your baby what you like at the end of the day . He will be named after relatives .
It's not the worse name you could've chose if you're going old man chic
