I'm an Eric (supposedly my parents read that it meant 'rich and powerful', so you know where their priorities were at). The name's been mostly good to me, and I'm also pleased that it wasn't 'Erik', not because I think it's worse, but because it's significantly more viking, which seems at odds with my appearance.
Major cons:
- perpetually being the most common name in my year throughout grade and high school (I was actually super good friends with the other three Eric/Erik/Ericks, so that was funny).
- my little brother and my childhood best friend both, without collaboration, thought up of 'Air-Dick' and thought it was a clever little nickname.
The name doesn't really have like... major pros, but it's been swell enough, and sounds better in the bedroom than one would expect.
