So I think we have settled on our girls name but can't agree on how we should spell it. I would normally opt the the most traditional/common spelling for a name but not sure which that is for this one.

I prefer Erica.

Erika is the name derived from Scandinavian origins.

Erica is a plant - a type of heather.

DDs middle name is Erica to follow the Eric tradition in DHs family. Erica with a C is the English spelling of the Germanic version Erika. Before I had an Erica and before I knew the 67262837 million Eric's in DHs family, I wouldn't have ever spelt either the masculine or feminine version with a K. Either is pretty though.
