Is this name ...to oldman-ish?

[SarahF2019]

So rainbow baby is coming in 2 days time but has had his name for a while.

Reasons:
The first name is the same as; disney prince in my favourite disney movie. And the first name of the main character in our favourite musical. The musical me and my husband fell in love to.

Secondly, in general the name is short and sweet. But is it a bit too....old man ish..? Lol

The babys name is: Eric.
Eric Andrew Fitzgerald (my husbands father was andy, andy passed away recently. Hence the middle name)

What do we think? Ive yet to find another baby called eric recently... it seems to have completely gone out of style lol..

If you know of ANYONE who has called their baby Eric recently PLEASE LET ME KNOW

:) xxx

Yes, know an Eric. I like it! Middle names honouring family are always lovely too.

I know a wonderful 3yr old called Eric. I think it’s a great choice.

Lovely. My dd would have been Eric 23 years ago.

Eric is lovely, I don’t like it with a K though, seems to cheapen it

I love the name Eric. It’s ds2’s middle name and he loves it too (he’s 10) says he wouldn’t have minded being called Eric as his first name because he thinks it’s cool.

I know a 19 year old Eric who was named by his sister who was six at the time. He is a lovely young man.

My grandad was Eric FitzGerald!! ❤️❤️❤️

Eric is a good name.
spell it the english way, eric, otherwise he will have a lifetime of telling people over the phone, no with a k. which is tedious.

It's a great name!

I like it - but also prefer with a K - more modern and different.

Lovely name

Eric - old man Erik - Scandi cool

Yes, I agree.

I like it. It's a family name in my family and a few boys in the younger generation have it as a middle name. My cousin used Erica for her daughter.

Simon Cowell and Dave Gorman have both used Eric for their children.

I love love love Eric Bana. Nothing old manly about him🥰

My friend's son is Eric (15) and my son has one in his class (6). Not that old man-ish....

Aw I love it! Eric really suits all ages x

I like it. I prefer Eric to Erik.

Pre-Simon Cowell - considered old man.

Post Simon Cowell - acceptable.

Eric Cowell is now six.

It's a lovely name.

I love love love love it!

There are two Erics in my DCs’ primary school which is a small village school.

I don’t like it with a k!

I think it's lovely OP. I know a toddler Eric.
