Not too common or too dated! This is my dh's name! His is Erik Alexander, a combo I find majestic. Erik Torvald is all sorts of cool.

Well, I'm swedish and here it's very common. Maybe not on babies, but on people from my age and above (so 18 and above) but Erik is still on the top 100 I think. From your combos I like Erik Hjalmar the best.Erik Vilgot
Erik Theodor
Erik Vilhelm

The K adds an extra edge and mystique to the name. I like it.

To me, it is neither common nor dated. I prefer this spelling a lot more than, which to me is too common, but still not dated.

I like it. I don't think it's too dated. Eric/Erik is still common here in the U.S., but it's less common than it used to be, so I'd say it's now safe to use at least in the U.S. I'd avoid using Erik as a FN in Sweden where it's #9 because the top 10 is definitely too popular for me, but it would be okay as a middle name.
