Someone on another post asked me about the name aric instead of Eric or Erik, as I usually write it Aric or Arik out of personal taste.
I can't recall where the question was asked so I will answer it here.
My daughter did not like most boy names, but that was one she did like.She had 6 boys and each time brought it up to her husband and 6 times got voted down.
Come on....6 pregnancy's...and he wouldn't let her, HAHA!!
Anyway, it isronounced Air-ik and is originally Scandanavian.

"Aric has 14 variant forms: Aaric, Arick, Arik, Arric, Arrict, Arrick, Eric, Erik, Erric, Errick, Erik, Ric, Rickie and Ricky.

Baby names that sound like Aric are Aeric, Arek, Arch, Erico, Eriq, Erick, Erich, Aerric, Aerick, Jeric and Orric.

Aric is a very rare male first name" .
There ya go.

Blimey it has a lot of spellin variations. i don't like the name, it's a bit odd for me.
