...of the names Erika Catherine (for first and middle?). For surname, think famous British shoe shop!!

We've decided to stick with Erica Catherine, I get what some are saying with the C's and our surname but it's kind of stuck now (and ds6 had been busy drawing pictures for her and putting 'To my sister Erica' on them, bless). Only 3 weeks until we meet her!!

I think it's great.

I love the name Erica, it was on the list for DC2 had we had a girl. We have the same surname too.

I actually really like the American spelling of Erykah but it would be a big no no to admit on MN

Too many Cs/Ks when put all together with your surname.

Cookie122 · 16/08/2015 08:32

I prefer Erica

Enkopkaffetak · 15/08/2015 21:21

i love Erika/ca as a name but another one who says not with that surname.

woodleydoodle · 15/08/2015 17:22

I don't like it. I've always thought Erika sounds 'harsh' as a name.

LynetteScavo · 15/08/2015 16:30

I would go for Erica Catherine or Erika Kathryn. I also think Erika is a bit cloppy with the shoe shop begining with C

CakeRattleandRoll · 15/08/2015 16:26

Very nice.

rockybalboa · 15/08/2015 10:39

See I'm not convinced that Erica works with the surname (I have it too). The one beginning with C anyway. Too many hard Ck sounds. Say it without the middle name, I think it jars.

villainousbroodmare · 15/08/2015 10:37

Erica I think unless Nordic. Also the Cs work together. Lovely.

HuftysTrain · 15/08/2015 10:32

Lovely but prefer Erica.

Lunastarfish · 14/08/2015 18:46

Great combination but again prefer Erica spelling (unless you are scandi/German then it's fine Smile)

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 14/08/2015 18:07

Very nice, but prefer Erica spelling.

Thanks you two, still undecided about spelling so we would be happy with either!

Lovely combination and goes well with your surname

I prefer the spelling Erica

JiltedJohnsJulie · 14/08/2015 17:57

Think it's lovely Smile
