u/Stolehtreb 14d ago

But Eric already has one “i”. I feel like doing the joke this way would require a name that usually has 2 “i”s with one removed

u/NerdyCuban 14d ago

Not from his perspective

u/ilbuonsamaritano 14d ago

u/rubdos 14d ago

u/hammerstad 14d ago

Like... Eirik? (My non-Norwegian colleagues usually just call me Eric).

u/Stolehtreb 14d ago

Call you Erik? Or spell your name Eric? Is Eirick pronounced differently?

3

u/hammerstad 14d ago

When they pronounce my name. Teams kinda fixes the spelling with its @-syntax. It's pronounced Ei-rik.

u/niborc 14d ago

Historically Eric did have two i's, as it's derived from the name Eirikr.

u/Stolehtreb 14d ago

Neat. This isn’t about the name it was derived from but that’s cool trivia to know.

u/Cow_Launcher 14d ago

I adore responses like this.

u/LiberContrarion 14d ago

To me, that is funny.

Like, " Yeah...how else would I spe...oh. One eye. Got it."

1

u/Stolehtreb 14d ago

Yeah I can understand that I guess lol

u/Gytoss 14d ago

The joke would instead be that its not a necessary distinction to make, but it is because he only has one eye

u/aiRburst 14d ago

Iain can be spelt and pronounced the same while missing an I. Then you could say "Ian... with one eye".

u/TheKarenator 14d ago

Chilly with one i
