Yes, but at least "eric" has an SCA story (history) behind it, as opposed to 
just being a word used to substitute for something that doesn't sound 
medieval. The use of "eric" is part of the SCA culture deriving (as I 
understand it) from the old red ribbon/fabric used to mark the list field 
which was fondly called "Eric the Red" by those who used it... It was later 
shortened to Eric and extrapolated by others to denote the list boundary 
long after the orignal "eric" was no longer used.

Or so I have been told.
