Eric is predominantly a male name in the United States, reaching peak popularity in the 1970s. There are approximately 860,000 people named Eric in the US today.
The name Eric's root letters are ERK.
When the letter of emotional energy appears in close proximity to the symbol of robust passion – the roaring, randy, romantic, raffish, and roused letter R – it suggests an individual on emotional overdrive with a libido to match. And since these names are terminated with the sharply pronounced K or C (as in break, kick, brick, crack, and jerk), there’s an unmistakable edge to these energetic people. The ERK names evoke the same urgently passionate traits found in the words: erotica, erection, acerbic, cherubic, eccentric, electric, and erratic.
Just because the Erics’ strong carnal drives aren’t easily discernable by their implacable exteriors doesn’t mean there isn’t something smoking just under the surface. Many Erics have mastered the art of relationship-judo in which they’ve discovered that it’s best to move away from the things you love in order to have them come to you. Manipulative? Maybe just a little. But if you really wanted to know what their motivations were, you should just ask them. These candid souls are happy to spill the beans as long as they are reasonably sure you’re not going to use it against them.
Erics are full of energy when it comes to their careers and their manic work schedule has the effect of galvanizing their co-workers who often feel guilty for not being able to keep up with their determined pace. This is why many ERK’s are destined to become leaders in their field or owners of their own businesses. While success may seem to come easily to them, it’s only as a consequence of their unrelenting physical efforts.
Looking for someone to organize your next party? Get an ERK involved and it’ll be an experience to remember. Erics take their entertaining as seriously as they do their wooing, and their creative minds are constantly rummaging around for novel ways to impress people.

As might be expected from such emotionally charged personalities, stable relationships can present quite a challenge. Being naturally impulsive, Erics will relentlessly hunt down the objects of their affection (which can prove to be quite an ego boost to their quarry) but the flipside to this is that once they’ve cornered their prey, they’re likely to lose interest in the chase. Consequently, many hopeful lovers are abandoned without so much as a peck on the cheek. Fortunately, once Erics commit themselves to life-long unions, even these hungry hunters treat their vows with solemn respect.
