My name is Erica, i used to not like it because i thought it was boring, but im 16 now i i realize it is pretty and not very common. People misspell it but oh well. I think its very strong and i think it fits me. My middle name in Lynn and i love how it goes with my first name. If it wasn't my name i would definitely name my future daughter Erica.
My name is Erica Ruth. The name flows very well and I enjoy my name! The only down side of being named Erica is that even my aunt spelled my name wrong as Erika. Also, it has been spelled, Ericka. Erica is supposed to mean Queen, another reason I like it. A funny thing my family and I joke about is "America". Erica is in the middle so when people ask my name, I can say "America" and it sounds like "I'm Erica" :) It has enough youth to it for a child, but also enough sophistication for an adult, so if you are worrying about the name later on in life, you shouldn't! If you are a mom to be looking for the perfect name, Erica is definitely a great fit. :)
My name is also Erica and I have the exact same opinion as Erica Ruth. My name also gets misspelled frequently, something I embraced as a child but and now see it as an annoyance. I do love my name and wouldn't change it. Defiantly a good choice for a new person!
