HelpAnagram names, WDYT?
I heard today of an Argentinian boy named Erik, and all the day I have been confusing it with Iker (Basque name, pronunced EE-ker. I kind of like it, but it's getting too common in Spain).
I think this could be a cute twin set... if I liked the anagram thing.
What do you think?

Hi, Araceli!
Well, Iker is nice, but a bit too Real Madrid for me (you know, I'm Catalan ;-)). And, even if Basque names are becoming pretty popular here (lots of Itziar, some Unai, Naiara, Aitana...), I think Iker couldn't be so popular because of the goal keeper(really, and althought if he is really nice!). And, for Erik, I know two (they write it Eric or Èric, I think). It's not a bad name, but nms for now.
And for twins, definitely too closed, too confusing.
Nice to see you!

Hi!
Well, it was only a one-day obsession, you know...
I wouldn't use them (Erik too plain, and I prefer Eric, and Iker too common now for my taste, and yes, too Real Madrid), and if I had twins I wouldn't use anagrams or similar names. I think cuteness has limits if we're talking about real people. Being twins is hard enough.
See you! ;)

I know, it's only that I've been all day thinking about it.
Anyway, I think that here in Spain it wouldn't be so odd, because Iker it's rather common here, but still a bit "exotic" (we are so conservative with names...), and Erik sounds a bit foreign, but not too strange. None of them are Spanish, but the two are easy to pronunce in Spanish. And, been similar, they doesn't sound repetitive...
Well, my little obsession of the day ;)
