I really like the name Erik!

I voted for Erik Nathaniel Lease because I think it flows the best!

My second choice would have been Erik Julian Lease...it sounds great but the L in Julian made it a little bit harder to pronounce the full name (slight tongue twister with "-lian Lease" but nothing too bad! :-)

While I love the name Gabriel, I think that in this combo it sort of "took over" because of the harsher G and B sounds in it, next to Erik and Lease.

Erik Theodore seems a little unbalanced to me. It works well in theory, putting a more modern FN with an old-fashioned MN, but in practice these two names just clash (IMO).

Alexander is NMSAA, and neither is Cartman (all I can think of with that name is South Park!)

HTH and good luck naming your son!
