What do you mean?

A lot of people said Eric Joseph is plain. What does that mean? What can I do to not make it plain? Change the middle name? Or is Eric "plain"?

Edit: Other family names include Geroge, Alexander, Fredrick, Bernard, Xavier, Francis, Garrett, Jacob, Adrian, William and Adam. ?

    I'm not sure what anyone means by a "plain" name, but I think it works.

    I actually really like that name.

    And FWIW I much prefer plain to Unooque and Kr8tave!

    I don't really know what I meant by that. There really is nothing wrong with Eric Joseph at all, it is a very nice name. IMO I think that George, Alexander, Bernard, and Xavier are much less plain.

    It's a good name, nothing wrong with it.  By plain, I meant that it doesn't strike me as anything special... it has kind a of a "generic" feel to it. 

    I like the other names you have listed, too (except Jacob - the name itself is OK, but way too common).

    Ok, I understand. I think I like plain :) My little girls' names are plain. ?

    My brother and his wife were going to use Eric Joseph if they had a boy (they had a girl). Everyone loved it. I think it's a great name. :)

    It's a perfectly respectable name. I have no idea what people are talking about.

    I have a nephew named Eric Joseph.  There's nothing wrong with the name.

    I think by plain they mean it is a nice, solid, run of the mill name. Nothing exciting but it is classic and will not sound strange 25 years from now when the kid is sending around his resume.

    I don't think your daughters' names are plain! They are much more classic than Eric Joseph.. It's not a bad name, those names are just pretty common boy names.

    I really like the name.  I would use the name since I love it so much, but it's my brother's and he's saving it for his son.  :)

    Maybe it's the lack of "y"s.  Eryc Josyf.  Makes all the "plain name yuck" people happy, and guarantees your son will only know 1 or 2 people who spell it the same "unique" way.Wink

    I don't think there's anything wrong with the name. It's just a little too common for my tastes.
