Baby boy born this week, lacking a name. What do you think?

He's a brother to Iris. Are the names too similar?

Ooh, currently unanimous.

Love it... Makes me think of Bananaman though. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

KatamariDamacy · 17/01/2014 23:37

I'd forgotten about Bananaman. It makes me love the name even more.

searches in vain for a banana emoticon

I really don't like it. Not to my taste at all, but there's nothing wrong with that sib set.

My friend has a son called Eric, I think it's a brilliant name.

youmakemydreams · 18/01/2014 00:06

Love it. It's ds2's middle name xdh wasn't keen but I love it so it went in the middle.

Mrsfrumble · 18/01/2014 05:01

Love it! You should go for it.

Theonlyoneiknow · 18/01/2014 08:26

I think it goes really nicely with iris

PrincessPotsie · 18/01/2014 08:28

I know two young Erics (though one's with a k). Aeriel's prince is Prince Eric. It's a cool name.

RabbitPies · 18/01/2014 08:31

Love it.

LilacBreastedRoller · 18/01/2014 08:33

I love it, but DH wouldn't even contemplate it when I proposed it for our boys.

Brilliant name, easy to say, spell, and it's just lovely

Monkeyandanimal · 18/01/2014 08:55

i love it! biased. mine is 2 yrs old now. but lets keep quiet about it, eh? we don't want it getting too popular, and as soon as people remember it, ALL the baby boys will be called Eric because its so cool!.....i hate seeing 'my' names on here because i think it puts the name in the public eye and then will lead to overpopularity. ridiculous i know!
