Personal experiences with the name Eric

My boyfriends name is Eric :]

My favorite brother-in-law is 12 and this is his name. He's very intelligent and likes to be taken seriously. He'll show his fun and goofy side only around those he feels comfortable.

My brother's name is Eric. Mine is Erin. I think my parents thought it would be cute to match my name to his. He's 31, and I'm 26. He's incredibly intelligent, but he's also stubborn. He's one of those guys that everyone likes, really funny and a joy to be around. We always have issues when we're together and someone calls one of our names. We both end up responding, or saying, "which one?! girl or boy?!" The best part is that his wife is Karen, which is pretty much my name with a "k" at the beginning, so that makes things much more fun when we're all together, and someone calls for one of us. He went by his last name in high school and after, as many guys did at that time, but not because he disliked his name or anything. It was just what the guys did at that age. Anyway, I think it's a great name, and it suits him well. It's a good name to grow into, but it's still cute enough for a little boy.
