I both like Eric Vincent Testa or Eric Frederick Testa. Which one sounds better? Which one sounds more charming? If you don’t like both choices please refrain from giving an opinion or spare your jokes and rudeness. It is a tough time and all I ask is some honest feedback and a little compassion. Many thanks ☺️

I think Eric Vincent flows better. Eric Frederick seems a bit clumsy to me.

Daisybuttercup12345 · 10/01/2025 23:58

Eric Vincent. Though I'd prefer Vincent Frederick.

ThatLilacExpert · 11/01/2025 00:00

Eric Alexander.

I like William too but my husband thinks it is used to death and it can be a bit boring.

I find Eric Vincent easier to say. Eric Frederick is a bit tricky and I don't think the repetitive 'ric' looks quite right. I do like the other poster's suggestion of Vincent Frederick if you don't have your heart set on Eric or call him Frederick Vincent and he can go by Eric, Rick, Ricky, Fred, or Freddy.

Eric Vincent

AmiablePedant · 11/01/2025 01:50

Vincent Eric, flipped order, is a handsomer name.

Eric Vincent.

Next choice would be Eric Alexander

TheaBrandt · 11/01/2025 06:58

Eric doesn’t go with Frederick say all as they both end with the same sound. Dh has this with his middle name secretly think it sounds ridiculous don’t know what his parents were thinkung. That said I wouldn’t worry middle names are barely used and pretty pointless!

HoraceCope · 11/01/2025 07:03

agree, not frederick

HoraceCope · 11/01/2025 07:03

will they be hyphenated?
will you use the middle name?

spilltheteapot · 11/01/2025 07:08

Eric Vincent Testa.

I like Eric Alexander but his initials would be EAT.

Alexander Vincent or Frederick Alexander are also good.

Pigsinblankets13 · 11/01/2025 07:13

Vincent

Agree William is boring!

creamsnugjumper · 11/01/2025 07:24

Will you ever say the middle name?

Love the suggestions William is a nice name but Eric has more personality.

Combustivechicken · 11/01/2025 07:26

Eric Alexander

Bienemaias · 11/01/2025 07:57

Eric Vincent

Beachs · 11/01/2025 08:22

Eric is a shortened version of Frederick, so not Frederick. Eric Alexander is lovely and Eric Vincent so could use the nn Vinny

Moreteaandchocolate · 11/01/2025 08:39

Eric Alexander!

EcruCardigan · 11/01/2025 09:58

Not Frederic. Vincent flows better, but I prefer Alexander. EAT?

Bienemaias · 11/01/2025 14:56

You really can't have Eric Fred Eric Grin
