We'll probably go into the hospital with all four in mind and see which suits, but what are people's opinions please?

Eric is a 71 year old man in a greasy cloth cap who watches Countdown in his vest and smokes like a chimney.

Eric is Bananaman.

AdaColeman · 21/08/2017 15:44

No no mumblechum that's Gabriel or Ted!

Eric is the tall passionate blonde chap with the beard.

@SuperBeagle beagles forever 👊🐶 (although mine just at a cream cake I'd been saving that was left on a low table so not too keen on him right now 😡 )

I have a Teddy. ❤️❤️ Ted, Tedster, little bear. ❤️❤️❤️ such a good name 😁👌👦🏼

WiganPierre · 30/08/2017 23:13

Eric.

Sequence · 30/08/2017 23:16

Eric is brilliant, it's short, snappy and retro cool. For the younger generation it would fit with the fashion for vintage names but won't have the "weedy" connotations.

Eric is the only one I like. Hamish is okay. Edward is okay but I hate Ted and they're everywhere right now. Gabriel I'm not a fan of whatsoever.

PumpkinChews · 30/08/2017 23:59

I love Ted!

MeganChips · 31/08/2017 00:05

I love Eric! The most charming, handsome man I have ever known is an Eric so maybe I'm biased.

I like them all but in order - Eric, Hamish, Edward then Gabriel.

BlueberryPuffin · 31/08/2017 00:09

The votes so far:

Gabriel = 10 votes
Hamish = 18
Eric = 15
Edward = 8, but some not liking Ted.

RandomDent · 31/08/2017 00:12

Like all except Gabriel.

xqwertyx · 31/08/2017 00:21

I like Edward best. Also not keen on Eric.

FNAF · 31/08/2017 00:23

Gabe or Ted are my favourites.

PandorasXbox · 31/08/2017 10:56

Gabriel.

LarkDescending · 31/08/2017 11:12

Hamish! By a mile.

stellarfox · 31/08/2017 18:33

Love Eric ❤️

LexieB · 31/08/2017 19:23

I have a Gabriel & there is another one in his class too.Love the name

PinkFlamingo888 · 31/08/2017 19:34

I love Gabriel but don't want other people using it so it's too common when I get round to using it!
