Thoughts on Eric for a baby boy?
Do you know any? Is it outdated? :)

Yes like prince Eric in the little mermaid.

EvieV28 · 19/10/2018 20:11

It's cute

welshweasel · 19/10/2018 20:09

I know one. I’m not that fussed on it for a baby but as a child and adult it’s great so overall it’s a yes!

Eeeeek2 · 19/10/2018 20:09

Lovely a proper name that I haven't heard for a while, much better than all the cutie little boy names that seem to be popular at the moment.

I know of one baby Eric. It’s jot to my taste. But it’s your baby, if you love it go for it!

My dd would have been Eric if she was a boy 22 years ago. Go for it.

ree348 · 19/10/2018 11:09

I like it!

Justlikedevon · 19/10/2018 08:15

Not to my taste but v popular locally - I know of half a dozen under about 8.

There was meant to be an emoji after that ... but they don't seem to work on my phone...

Our childhood name for an erection Eric-Shun. 'He's got an eric'** 

mummabearfourbabybears · 19/10/2018 08:01

Our childhood name for an erection Eric-Shun. 'He's got an eric' cue much hilarity. So no I don't love it as a name for a baby 

Polkasq · 19/10/2018 07:50

I like it.

cushioncuddle · 19/10/2018 07:44

Simon Cowell has made that one popular.

blueskiesandforests · 19/10/2018 07:25

Much better with a k Wink excellent straightforward but not overly common name.

MargaretDribble · 19/10/2018 07:24

I know an 8 year old Eric. The name really suits him. I think he was named after a family member.

Lipsticktraces · 19/10/2018 07:20

I love Eric. Go for it opSmile

SingingSands · 18/10/2018 23:51

I think it's coming back. Have heard of a few baby Erics in the last couple of years.

I love it. It sounds sort of Viking sounding in my head!

Sophronia · 18/10/2018 23:16

I like it

MoorMummy · 18/10/2018 22:57

Big name in our family! My dog, my dad , my uncle, cousin and great uncle x ❤️2 . We’ve got one at work ( a lovely Chinese man ) and my friends toddler is one too.

We named dog after my dad / Eric Cantona.

I love it x

Icklepup · 18/10/2018 22:52

Karachii · 18/10/2018 21:45

I really like it. Know a lovely 29 something Eric.

moredoll · 18/10/2018 21:39

Don't like it, sorry. Too harsh and, yes, outdated.

Alwa · 18/10/2018 21:32
