Middle name for Eric?

DS1 due in a few weeks' time and we have loved the name Eric from the start, but we cannot think of a nice middle name to go with it, help please!

So far suggestions have included Stanley, Sidney, Quentin but we can't really tell what goes with Eric, any thoughts? Like Wilfred and Wilbur but our surname starts with W so I don't think a W middle name will work unfortunately.

Thanks!

Liking lots of these suggestions but keep being drawn back to David which is also a family name.

I am just off to google Eric the half bee which I hadn't heard of before this thread!

Eric David is great :)

Will it matter that he is E D, will that make people think "Erectile Dysfunction" Confused

(Just googled the initials to check they wouldn't be anything rude - surname is W so think we are safe on EDW)

He might get the nick name Ed? That's about it I would think!

How about an extra middle name, I wish we had chosen two.

What about Eirik? 'Ear-rik' rather than eric 'air-rik'
