[Opinions] Eric
How does everyone feel about Eric? Is it too dated? What do you think would be a good sibling name?

I like it and would consider it as a middle name. It's a popular name among people my age, but I've gotten along with most people I've met named Eric and Erik, so I have good associations with the name. It also has a nice sound.Siblings:Nicholas

I like it. Not my favorite, but a solid classic that you don't see very often. Strangely, I dislike Erica, but Eric is pretty nice.

Aww. I like it. It is a little tired at this point, but I'd love to meet a little Eric. I prefer Erik, though, because it's not as common and I'm a sucker for Scandinavian names. I have no idea for sibling names, sorry. I'm bad with English names.

Other than major popularity and knowing a few handfuls of Eric's in my life, I do like the name. If it wasn't popular, it'd probably be on my list. Then parts of me question if I really only like it because I've grown accustom to it. I guess I'll never know. But no, I don't think it's dated at all.
