They aren’t “out” on FB, so I’m dying to tell someone. I love it! MN is Richard. Daddy is from Germany, so they needed something pronounceable both there and Stateside. Good choice, IMHO!!

I asked him the other day if he ever was called Ricky, and he said he didn’t even realize that it was a nickname option but he hated it. He actually used to think he didn’t suit an Erik, and went by Alex (his middle name is Alexander) for a short period of time in his 20′s. (I like his full name Erik Alexander, it means “Ever Powerful Defender of Men”…Awesome name meaning.

I don’t mind Eric – he’s forever 80s to me though, as my brother used to whine that his name was boring because there were so many Erics growing up in late 80s Australia, and seldom any Sophies or Juliets, and Ariel’s Prince (my sister was obsessed with the tale!) He’s strong and protective and yet rather suave too :)

He’s not at all popular in Australia – well, not in my state at least. He doesn’t even chart in the Top 100.

I have known some children called Eric’s friends children but it is a name passed down. Its almost hard for children to fill for me it just a very adult name
