My wife wants to name our soon-to-be-born son "Eric"...I want him named "Mason"...

I don't like either name, to be honest. Mason reminds me of freemason or the jar. Eric doesn't flow, and don't like the hard 'c' ick sound. You can make a list of all your favorite names and maybe find a completely different one. Boys names are harder than girls I think, I hope you find one you both like. I wouldn't want to pick a name that my husband didn't like, so hopefully your wife feels the same.

For our son, we each made a list, and I didn't like his top pick and he didn't like my top pick so we both picked our second best choice. I don't even remember what name was my top anymore, but I ended up liking the second choice better. It ended up being the perfect name for my son.

Blessings to you and congratulations!

name him Paul like the prophet octopus

If you EVER want a chance at a second child, you'll name him Eric.



.

I don't care for either, tbh but if I had to chose between the 2, I would go for Eric.

The best way to tell is the old fashioned tried and true method.

Write down your options for full names. First, middle and last on a piece of paper.

Then both you and your wife should very quietly walk outside your back door at about 5-6 pm in the evening, taking the paper with you. Take the first name off of the list and have your wife yell:

"Firstname Middlename Lastname!!! Time for dinner!!!!!"

If no one yells at you, comes running or tosses a shoe at you then you you have a contender.

You would be surprised how the sound of a name changes when Mom is calling you back in the house and means business.

Edited to add:

This method helped my Father convince my mother that
Sabrina Eugina (brie for short)would NOT be in my best interest and that no child should have the same name or nick name as a cheese.

I too think of Mason jars or Mason-Dixon and girls as well as boys. TOOO common.

Old is the new NEW. Eric is really strong. Someone mentioned Merrick. or Meric..Jason isn't James, but nice.

All the Masons in my daughter's class, btw, are female.

I'm partial to Marek because of Star Wars. Marek Steele. The one time Sith counselor that Luke saved and turned into one bad ass pilot for Rogue Squadron and a part time Jedi Knight now.. Fierce.

Merek is a great name! Good idea

OP, please name your son "Moran"

Your whore ass slutty wife just wants to name him after his dad. You know the other guy she's been fucking behind your stupid ignoramous ass.

assuming its a him when he is born, name's can be changed, shortened, or lied about.. I have had all 3 happen to me.

Name the kid Hen3ry. The "3" is silent....

MASON

Good names either way.

mason is better than eric

I agreed to let my husband choose IF there was NO circumcision... Just sayin.

+1

My first name is James, and My middle name is Mason. Believe me, its a very strong name.

One of my best friends was named Eric...

To piss the black guy Eric off who's been fucking your wife, name him Aryan Nation. ps.

Till you killed the sissy bitch.

Damn straight.

You're a sick woman.

Do you want your son to be laughed at by his future girlfriends at his alien looking penis?

Circumcise him, or he'll hate you forever!

Solved--

Ricky-Mason

show her this video

after this she will not want to name him Eric

All the Masons in central Texas are boys. It is not considered a female name here. Most of the boys are cowboy types.

I like Eric.

My name is Eric and it is a good Viking name. Who would ever name somebody Mason?

Choose a traditional saint's name. They will watch over your
child if you ask them...they will become your child's patron
saint.

Michael, John, Stephen, Philip, etc.

Mary, Joan, Ann, Cecila, etc.

...........Personally, I dislike both names!!! the best thing to do is to google 'numerology' there are many sites that will give you a FREE numerological reading of any name........simply enter each first name, middle name and your last name......perhaps by reading the type of things each name means will help you choose the really right one!!..don't forget middle names are important too, as well as the initials....just a thought......it sure couldn't hurt, and it's free.....also, if you want a very detailed report, those are available too, for a small fee...and usually emailed to you in a few hours at most......Think about it!!!!

Jack dolf is a nice name!

compromise
