The name of Eric brings opportunities for success in business and financial accumulation. However, obstacles and frustration can give rise to feelings of impatience, intolerance, and depression. You could excel in finance, law, economics, mathematics, or sales and promotion. You work best alone and unrestricted because a sense of freedom is essential to your well-being. As a result, others may regard you as somewhat superior in your attitude. Since you are ambitious and astute, you should never be subservient to others. As you seldom break a promise yourself, you tend to be overly critical of those who do not live up to their promises. Being forthright and outspoken, you often champion causes. The use of this name makes it difficult for you to express your softer, feminine characteristics because it spoils relaxation and affability. Others may see you as rather shrewd and calculating.
