>According to Eric.com, 69% of all Erics spell their name "Eric". That means that 31% spell it, to put it bluntly, wrong. Even though my spelling is more than twice as common than every other spelling put together, people are constantly writing it with a K. It is parents who want to be clever or "different" who make it a hassle for normal folk. Grr.

Hey! I have a good friend whose name is Erik - short for Emerik. He's Philippino. It's a COOL name. Don't be name-elitist =6.

Ki"of course, we won't go into the power trips his parents were on - their names are Emma and Rick - and his brother's name is Odracer - their father's full first name is Ricardo - although he goes by Ody (woof woof, here boy!). On the other hand, both Emerik and Odracer were Philippino kings or something like that. Go figure..."ki
