Hi everyone! I am looking for a boy's name that starts with E as my name is Elsa. I like names that are not very common in the classroom like Liam, Oliver etc. I prefer a name that is elegant, strong and with a British and international sound too. Which of the following combinations sounds interesting to you? :-)
I am open to other suggestions of names too. So Far, I like Eric, Patrick and Adrian.

Eric Frederick
Eric Franklin
Eric Patrick
Eric Adrian

Thanks for your insights! 😘

I know a baby Eric, lovely name. Of your suggestions I like Eric Franklin.

Eric sounds a bit comical to me as I don’t know anyone with the name - and it’s often used as a name for a funny character, e.g. Eric and Ernie on the muppets! But I’m sure as soon as I met a little Eric my associations would change.

Do you like Evan, Eli / Elijah, Ethan, Ellis or Elliot?

I like Eric Adrian

Surely Francis rather than Frederick. Got to keep that Frozen vibe going @Elsa2025

Yep agree that you can't pair Eric with Patrick or Frederick.
I love the name and Patrick though.

If you're looking for other E names:
Elio
Ezra
Elliot
Ezekiel
Eddy

Also for the record, I would say that there are swarms of Liams in the classroom in England in 2024. And it's a lovely strong name.

Some small things to think about:

Eric Frederick would be double "eric", Patrick would be double "ric"— both have the internal rhyme so would have a musical quality to it, but maybe more whimsical than you're looking for?

Eric Adrian might spell out something with his initials if you have a surname begining with T or R.
