Comments for the name Eric

My buddy has this name so I think it's a cute name.

Eric Cartman is a character on South Park.

Eric Carle is a fantastic artist and writer of such children's books as "The Very Hungry Caterpillar".

I think Eric is a very good name for a jock.

Eric Peter Kaiser is an actor in the movie Miracle.

Eric is the name of the prince in The Little Mermaid.

In the Phantom of the Opera, (only in the book), the phantom's name is Eric, although they never mention this in the movie or the musical.

Famous bearer is Eric Bana, an Australian actor.

This name can also (or more likely) find its origin in the Germanic/Norse word 'Ehre' which translates in English to 'Honor.' Combined with the Germanic/Norse word for king, 'Rik' (the origin of the subsequent German word 'Reich), 'Eric' means 'Honorable King.' This is a more probable origin/meaning, as the Germanic word for 'Ever' is not 'Ei, ' but 'Immer.'

Eric Szmanda - he is known as Greg Sanders from "CSI".

Eric Birling (fictional) from the play An Inspector Calls put me off this name. But he's also the handsome prince Ariel falls in love with in Disney's 1989 The Little Mermaid.

Eric is a character in The Southern Vampire Series, written by Charlaine Harris.

I have always really liked the name Eric. It's simple and nice. My cousin is named Eric, so I don't know if I'll ever end up using it, but it's a great name.

Eric is a very cute name but one of the most annoying boys in my class is called Eric. I can not recall a Eric I've actually liked. I think it would be this disturbing fact that'd keep me from naming my child Eric.

(Singer/Actor) Ricky/Rick Nelson's real name was Eric.

A very good name, very cute.
My associations.
-Eric Foreman (one of the main characters of "That '70s Show")
-Prince Eric (in the Little Mermaid)
-Erik, the real name of the Phantom of the Opera.

Eric Forman from That 70's Show.

My friend plans on naming her son Eric Killian. I am not a big fan of Killian, but it doesn't sound bad with Eric. Eric is a good name, in my opinion.

Another famous bearer is the blues guitarist Eric Clapton.

My dad's name is Eric John and I love the usage of two such classic names. Sounds to me like a knight in medieval times. Reminiscent of chivalry and all that jazz. Of course, I could just be biased.

I just love this name. It seems very manly, but simple. If I ever have children, I will definitely consider it.

There's a Monty Python skit called "Eric the Half-Bee". It's about a guy trying to get a "fish liscence" for his pet "'allibut" Eric (which he pronounced "Eddic"). Eric is also the pet bee in the skit (a half-bee, he had an accident). Apparently the guy in that skit names all his pets Eric.

The name itself is okay, but almost all Erics I've heard or read about have been nasty people somehow, which is why I have grown to dislike the name.

Eric Idle (1943-), from Monty Python.

Eric means "kingly", so I think this name really is connected to the word "king".

Whenever I hear the name Eric, I think of Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid. It's a short, sensible name. I prefer the name "Eadric," the name of a prince in 'The Tales of the Frog Princess' by E. D. Baker.

Eric David Harris was a high school senior who committed the Columbine High School massacre along with Dylan Klebold. They killed 13 people and injured 24 others. Both Harris, 18 years old, and Klebold, 17, committed suicide after the killings.

Eric Delko is a character on CSI: Miami, played by the adorably hot actor Adam Rodriguez.

I like the name itself but I can only see babies to early 40 being named this, I just can't see a grandfather with the name of Eric sorry.

See, I know this is a VERY common name. I myself think it is very manly. Plus, it's really simple and short. I'm glad it's not a long drag of letters or something along that. I think it's an excellent name to name your baby. For the weirdos who don't like the name, I think it's best not to flame on it!

I prefer Erik.

For some reason, the name Eric has always made me think of a prince. (: Weird, maybe, but I love this name! :DD

Eric Stuart is the lead singer in his own band, ESB. He is also a voice actor for anime shows. He voiced Brock and James for seasons 1-8 in Pokemon and Seto Kaiba in Yugioh! Duel Monsters.

A famous bearer is American actor Eric Millegan (born August 25, 1974), best known for his role as Zack Addy in the TV series "Bones". He's also known for his work in musical theatre throughout the United States.

Eric is a character in the show True Blood. He was a Viking before becoming a vampire.

Eric Satie was a French composer of such famous piano pieces like "Gymnopedie' and 'Gnossiene'. His style has influenced even some rock musicians like David Bowie.

I love Eric Johnson! XD He is the guy who did Tones, Ah via musicom, Venus Isle, and Bloom (there are others too).

Eric is also used quite frequently in the Netherlands (this also goes for the spelling Erik), where it is pronounced as follows: AY-rik.

All of the Erics I have ever known have been Asian, so I can't really picture this name on any non-Asian people.

My uncle's name is Eric and I've always though it was a short but strong name.

A famous bearer of this name is American actor Eric Mabius (b. April 21, 1971), well known for starring in the sitcom Ugly Betty as Daniel Meade and was also a fairly main character in Resident Evil and Cruel Intentions. :-)

This is my brother's name. My mother originally wanted to spell it Erik, but that was uncommon when he was born (the 1970s). Also, he was born very sickly and she didn't want him to stand out for being sick and having a strangely spelt name, so she took the traditional route. Then he got better. Haha.

But Eric is neither a jock nor is he Asian. He's a computer master who speaks to technology using his Jedi mind powers. That's what I think, anyway.

I've gotten used to this name. After reading Charlaine Harris Sookie Stackhouse series aka True Blood, I've fell in love with it. It's a very strong name and I do believe in the future one of my sons will be named this!

Eric is also used in Portugal (and not so much the "Érico" version).

My son's middle name is Ayrik. It was a name I'd heard (At least in pronunciation) in the movie "Willow". I assumed that it may have used as a derivation of Eric.

Eric is a strong name for a male. I really like the way it looks and sounds. I've been fortunate to know only good people with this name. I would probably hate it otherwise.

Eriks is the Latvian form of Eric. It's my grandfather's name. He was born in Latvia, and mostly goes by Eric nowadays.

Eric Saade - Swedish pop singer.

George Orwell's real name was Eric Arthur Blair.
