I need inspiration for our baby due next year. Big sister is Eric. DH has already vetoed Lucinda, Nancy, Miranda and Phyllis. Middle name will likely be Ruth

I love Eric. I wanted it for my son but was vetoed. Mary?

Many years ago I knew a pair of sisters called Erica and Heather, it was deliberate because Erica means heather, the mum liked that that they had connected names.

Big sister Eric Grin
I like Eric a lot - have known two.
How about Lydia ?

Love Nancy it's my favourite girls name! And goes so well with Eric. Also like Edie and Silver.

Love some of these suggestions! We had Meredith as a definite then found out she's a girl and changed our minds 🤦🏼‍♀️

Eric and Bella (our dogs' names) The Eric I know has sisters Dorothy and Kathleen.

Well dd would have been Eric if she was a boy, but was called Florence instead, so how about Florence?

Eric (even with this spelling rather than with a K) always says Viking to me rather than "old- man trend" (a la Alfred, Stanley etc) so I'd stick with similar short, sweet, popular in Scandinavia names like:
Astrid, Vera, Elise, Alma, Elsa, Ingrid, Clara, Alva, Stella, Alice, Esther, Leah, Frida, Nora.
