Eric

[stellarfox]

WDYT of Eric? I am seeing the name everywhere and keep coming back to it. We already have an Ada. I feel like it’s a similar style, but do they sound like a pair out of an old people’s home together and we should go for something a bit more modern? 😅

I love it. Instantly follow it with 'the half a bee' and start singing. I love Brian too.

I like it

Just no.

I really don’t like it, for some reason it sounds a bit like some kind of bodily function. Having said that, I have known a couple of adult Eric’s and they were both absolutely lovely.

Love it! It's my son's middle name.

I like it

I like it, I have a cousin Eric. It'a a name that grows with the baby.

It's also quite international and easy to pronounce in lots of languages if that's a consideration.

It’s nice enough, not awful but not my favourite.

I like it for its Scandi vibe. Feels quite classic if you think about like that, feels a bit like an old mans name if you think about it as being purely English. Goes with strong Germanic Ada.

I quite like it.

very nice name that fits a baby, child and adult. A strong name!

Good choice

I really like it. Classic but also seems to sound fresh and cool at the same time.

It reminds me of Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid. Who is devastatingly handsome. For a cartoon character.

My daughter has Erica as a middle name, and my nephew Eric. Cousin went the whole hog and her sons name is Eric.

They’ve obviously got a common ancestor

Your baby, your choice, for what it's worth I like it but many won't, tough tits I say 😀

Lovely. Dd was going to be Eric

Eric works well with Ada imo. They are both old-fashioned, but they also have an cool element to me - Ada from namesake Lovelace and the similarity to trendy Ava, and Eric from the Scandi sound and Viking heritage.

I think it's a great name for a horse/cat/gerbil, but no really for a child.

I absolutely love the name Eric
Wish I'd used it. My partner loves it too
It's really not that "out there" in 2021 and sounds great with Ada

"Not ready for a child" 🤣 respect your opinion, @Touloser but you know Eric is number 126 in the official charts now! That's way higher up the chats than supposedly safe names like Peter or Simon.

I know a 2 year old Eric
Not a fan myself but seems more around then previously

I love the name Eric but unfortunately we can't use it 😢😢😢

I like it if it's spelled Erik.

Spelledthat way I think it says Scandi cool rather than resident of a home for retired gentlemen.

Eric is an old, bald man to my ears. Brother to Colin or, perhaps, Trevor.

I like it and have increasingly come around to Frederick as well which it could be a nn of.

I quite like Eric. It's familiar, not too "out there" and goes wonderfully with Ada.

I think I might marginally prefer Erik which feels a but more international and modern perhaps.

There's also Alaric, or Elric, which might appeal to you?
