I like Eric Richard. Correction.. I love Eric Richard! I’ve always though Eric was a really handsome name that didn’t get enough credit. It sounds really great with Richard, and it’s nice that you’re honoring your husband with this mn. Blake is nice, but It’s always sounded more like a nickname to me. It’s also more popular and not as refreshing to hear as Eric is.I also like the two syllables in Eric with Richard as opposed to the one with Richard.

If it matters to you, Eric and Richard have the exact same meaning. My youngest son is named Eric. He is our 4th son, so it was getting harder to come up with names we both like. I have always loved the names Ricky and Rick, but wanted to give a more formal name and use those as nicknames. I was reluctant to use the name Richard because of other possible nicknames, so we decided on Eric, which means "ruler, leader", same as Richard. You could still honor your husband by having a name that means the same as his. Our son is Eric Paul. Other middle names we considered (briefly) were Michael, Todd, and Brandon.
