What's the verdict on Eric?

We're still short of boys names. DS is called Freddie and I thought Eric might be quite nice. Middle name will be Arthur.

Does it tick the nice, popular but not too popular box?

I love it, especially spelt Erik- very viking

wouldn't get my vote either I'm afraid, could you not use Arthur as the first name? I love it, nn Art

Eric is a name that we are considering as well. When DH first suggested it, I wasn't sure but it is growing on me, so I will be interested to see the response this thread gets.

Nope it doesn't, sorry, I know a one year old Eric and it's odd on a baby.
