My youngest child is Eric ... he's 7 BTW. I think it's a fine name, a real investment of a name ... just think when he's middle-aged he'll be greatful his parents gave him a proper name :wink:

My Eric was named after two great Erics .. one musical genius, one comedy genius.

I had a sectrary called Kiki once... She was a nightmare! :roll:  That name sends shivers down my back!

As for a boy! poor kid hey, I think you have to ask yourself, would you want it as a name??

However I think Erik is a great name. Sounds strong, bold!

I like the name - can only agree with other comments above - the spelling makes it more interesting.

I don't think that many people that are ever really happy with their name but if you had chance to change it would you??

I recently change my surname by deed poll so considered changing first name too but couldn't think of anything I'd prefer.

Good luck with the new baby when he arrives & best wishes Carole x

The established, traditional names make a habit of coming back into fashion every so often - you can't beat them with the passing fads.

A good, strong name - you'll probably find that by the time he gets to school, he will be there with a crowd of Eriks :D

Best wishes for a safe arrival into the world when the time comes!

Clapton and Morcambe by any chance???

The name started out not as a fashion thing but as a joke.  We had just had our scan and we were talking names, I was getting a bit peed off cos I was trying to watch telly (CSI Miami) (6 hours later) The end titles came on as Jess was STILL going on about names, so up popped the name Eric.  I said we would call him Eric and she hit the roof, no f*****g chance !!!!!!!!
It kinda grew on me, and wound Jess up a bit....... perfect  :lol: so it became a joke.... also growing on Jess
Jess mis-carried before 12 week scan and we were devestated  :cry:  :cry:
Now Jess is 31 weeks and we are excited,nervous, happy, sh****ng ourselves  :? and we BOTH love the name  :D  :D
We told people we were calling him Erik (Jess spelling choice) and had some strange reactions.  My brother said 'what you calling it really??' When he named his son after a bike he was saving for at the time (Zephyr). A girl at work has a girl called Dana and wants a boy......to call it Fox  :shock:  (yes I'm serious) and really hates 'Erik'
Jess's gran says it is awful- it is German she says-  :?
So just wanted a neutral reaction,

HORNESS..... Unusual name  :wink:  I guessing your female, and kinda hoping your name is not Smith or Brown

Anyone who voted 'poor little b******d'..... please say why  :wink: its a need to know thing....

Thanks for all your support   :wink:

Difficult to say without seeing the surname. Missus has one on the way and a girls name we liked was Regan, but would get the [throw it] taken something rotten if called Regan Wright  :lol:  If a boy we did consider Richard, but we have a Harry & Tom already, you know the rest  :roll:

i had my first and called him matthew on the ward there were another 3 matthews, had 2nd boy called him mitchell, 3rd tristan and 4th harvey there is 2 of each in school of the other 2nd, 3rd, and 4th child

i think Eric is ok as its a persons name and not just a baby or childs name

THATS SO UNFAIR.
Speaking as a 51 year old male named BEVERLEY don't give your child a "unisex" name and if you do don't send him to an all boys public school :twisted:  :twisted:
Erik is a fine name and Lewis is my sons name so as you can guess I like that too.
If he is not happy when he gets older then he can always call him self Rik or Ricky or even Lewis.

Hi,

we have a Lauren & Jodie - twins,  when i was pregnant we said we were going to call them Lucrecia and Jezebel - should have seen the reaction to those names!

bottom line is how does it sound with the surname - kids can be very cruel (i suffered greatly as a child due to my proper name - eleonora  transmuted to jackanory for those who remember that, also cinders (cinderella), - i became the 3rd best fighter in the school and even no 1 & 2 would think twice before taking me on :twisted: )

hypocrite that i am - i get very cross if i find out the girls have been fighting :oops:

however - if you like the name, what does anybody elses thoughts matter - its your baby HAVE FUN :D

regards

ela

Absolutely!

I'm very much into traditional names, I got a George Harry. a Rose Amy and Eric is an Eric Alfred.
