Yes, it's nice :)

Noooo, it's one older name that hasn't aged well.

CotesduRhone · 05/01/2012 16:10

I really like it. But then I had no idea British people considered it old until I started meeting British people in the last few years, I'd only ever come across it in 'cool' American teen fiction. Grin

Eric Pollard, anyone?

Kayana, Erica for your daughter then! You can explain to your DH that stranded will be disappointed otherwise....

VeronicaSpeedwell · 06/01/2012 17:36

I really like this name. DH won't sanction even the thought of it.

Have a friend called Erik and someone else I know has recently called his DS Erik. I think it's an awesome name. Also really like Erica/Erika for a girl.

CrotchFlakes · 06/01/2012 21:06

I used to work with an Eric who used to go on about a website dedicated to all things Eric, lists of famous Erics etc. Does it still exist?

SleepyFergus · 06/01/2012 21:07

My immediate thought was Eric Pollard. Sorry Grin

Ineedacleaneriamalazyslattern · 06/01/2012 21:18

Ds2 middle name is Eric. It was late fil middle name and I loved it when pregnant but dh wasn't keen he thought I was suffering from some hormonal fog and I would change my mind. Grin I did insist on it as a middle name though. He was wrong I still love it and in the end we had to pick a first name for him and I got my choice for that one too Grin

Crumblemum · 06/01/2012 22:45

We have an Eric. Wavered a bit when he was young and I had to say it in Sainsbury's. Some raised eyebrows. Now definitely love it. I think it's a great name, and yes, very popular in states, so they can always move!
