I really like [name_m]Eric[/name_m]/[name_m]Erik[/name_m], but unfortunately the rest of the family are uncomfortable with it due to a negative association. Are there any other similar names to take its place?
[name_m]Raoul[/name_m] (sorry, with your screename I just had to).
Similar how? Scandinavian? 4 letters? Ends with K? What do you like about [name_m]Erik[/name_m]?
Haha yes, but it’s purely coincidence - at least in the sense that I like the sound and its simplicity. It also has history and it’s quite uncommon without being unheard of.
I feel that [name_m]Abram[/name_m], [name_u]Asa[/name_u], [name_m]Ezra[/name_m], [name_m]Otto[/name_m], [name_m]Ciar[/name_m], and [name_u]Seth[/name_u] are similar. Also: [name_m]Eero[/name_m]/[name_m]Arrow[/name_m], [name_m]Aaron[/name_m], [name_m]Alec[/name_m], [name_m]Eamon[/name_m] {Sound-alikes}, [name_m]Anders[/name_m], [name_m]Arto[/name_m], [name_m]Axel[/name_m], [name_m]Lars[/name_m], [name_m]Niels[/name_m], [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], [name_m]Mads[/name_m], [name_m]Soren[/name_m], [name_m]Viggo[/name_m] {Scandinavian}
ETA: Whoops! @chrisco and I must have been typing at the same time. She beat me to several of these suggestions.
I’ll give it a shot.
