Name of article

Why aren't we using Alaric and Eric (legitimate English exonyms) for this article instead of one name in modern Swedish and the other in Icelandic, or whatever Eirík is? How is Eirík relevant in English? Does anyone, anywhere else call the brothers Alrek and Eirík? SergeWoodzing (talk) 21:38, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Alrek and Eirík

I think the article needs to represent the reference in Ynglinga Saga to "Alrek and Eirík", not an inaccurate English variant. Be academic about it please. Otherwise what is the point of an accurate encyclopedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.211.110.232 (talk) 09:48, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
