Has anyone been through a situation where you cannot decide on your baby boy name because you like three names all the same?
I live in the UK and would like a British name but with an international feel. I think these 3 names fit that, however I cannot decide on one. Which of these 3 would you choose? Eric? William? Albert? Why? Please don’t give me a 4th option as it would make my life even harder. :-) I appreciate your comments and insights! 😘

They are all good names.
I like the name Eric the best.

In order:
William - timeless classic
Eric - better as Erik
Albert - don't like at all

Ditto.
William wins by far for me.

William and Albert are equally lovely to me. William is more of a timeless classic, and Albert is more of a vintage chic vibe and making a comeback. Both have good nn options - Will / Billy / Liam, Albie / Bertie. I’d probably go for William personally.

Eric has a bit of a comical feel to it (but I don’t know any one called Eric, so my association is from comedy to / cartoons).
