Eric?

[0percypig0]

What do you think of Eric? I love, dh not so keen as he think it's too old. We have a Robert and Mary so don't get where he's coming from!

Love it, I once met some twin boys called Frank and Eric and thought they were both traditional but still unusual names.

I don't like it. (sorry)

Think it is dated and sounds comical to me.

Love!!

I like Eric, but it's a bit 70's, like Bruce.

really dislike - eric & ernie

I like it.

I had guineapigs called Fred and Eric. Love it!

I've only ever come across 1 Eric who was born since about 1935.
(He must be about 35/37ish now), and even he used to get loads of people saying "no, really, what's your real name?" when he told them he was called Eric.

Robert and Mary have been traditional names throughout many generations, but Eric is only for the over 75s.

No.

I like it - think it looks better with a k though - Erik.

I love it. I like it better with a c though!

Have a gorgeous Swedish exBF who spells his 'Erick'

1 word - Awesome. Go for it.

A thumbs up from me

I love it.I prefer it with a K,but it's a great name either way.

Love it Eric or Erik

Great name, I like it!

Love it, but i have an Erin so would be wierd

I love it!!
Never heard of it being an old mans name.
It makes me think of Eric from the Little Mermaid (?)

Prefer Erik (gorgeous Viking) to Eric (rather too old-man).

My friends have an Erik. Lovely :)

It's a great name...for a dog. You could even train the dog to say it. Otherwise, leave it for some other unfortunate child.

I know a gorgeous 2yo Eric - it suits him.

I agree I prefer Erik, but that's just personal choice. And I have children with MN villified names so free to ignore
