Eric - cute or old man?

DH and I have both agreed we like the name Eric. Both of my grandads were Eric and if we have a boy, I would definitely want it in there somewhere. I thought it would make a good middle name but the more we think about it, the more we like it as a Christian name. Or are we lumbering a baby with an old man's name? Granted, he'll be old some day but still!

Love it! I know two baby Eric's, both absolutely adorable!

It is "old man" enough to now be fashionable again, like Alfs, and Freds, and Reggies and Stans, and all the old ladies like Edie and Iris and Ivy and so forth.
