Eric

Thoughts on Eric? Is it too plain or common sounding? I know several Eric's my age (26) but don't know of any kids named Eric. Is it too 90s? Thanks

I like Eric.

I like it and find it pretty refreshing in this generation. It's just out of the top hundred so not super common yet everyone knows it.

I like it a lot and don't think it's dated at all.

I think it is a beautiful name.

I love it and would use it if we had not already named my daughter Erin.

Erik is the best. With a C it is ok too

I think Eric is timeless and dignified. Great name.

So excited to hear great feedback on Eric! Keeping it at the top of my list

I think I'm alone in not liking it. I only know one Eric and he is such a plain person with no personality, so that is what I think of with the name I would vote for the spelling Erik though.

I really like Eric.

I am not a fan, but couldn't give you a good reason why.

My initial instinct is it's awfully common, but then all of the Eric/Eriks I know are older than 25 so you're probably good now!

I don't know about timeless, if I heard someone who was named Eric I was automatically assume that he was in his 40s or 30s. So, yes, dated, but that doesn't mean it won't come around again.

You can see the popularity chart here. Any name that makes a kind of witches hat will sound dated to most ears: https://www.babynamewizard.com/baby-name/boy/eric

I do know of one baby Eric, but it's such a great, solid name. Keep it on your list

If we have another boy his name will be Erik (love the name and also an anagram of my name).
