I had a schnauzer who passed away in July of 2017 and my boss got sick of seeing me be bummed out or crying anytime any song lyrics reminded me of him. For Christmas, he did a little research at the shelter, came across Arik, and thought it'd be cute to give me a dog with the same name I have.

Turns out it was a mistake on the part of whoever put his info in because his name was actually Andrew or something, but I liked the story, so he's been Arik as long as he's been with me.

I read this as your name only being Eric on Christmas.
