I dont like it but have known a few Erica's and they've all been lovely!

PattiPrice · 23/01/2020 00:45

I like it and know a beautiful little Erica.
Like a pp, I'm not a fan of Eric.

Cindie943811A · 22/01/2020 23:27

I like Erica but dislike Eric!

FizzyGreenWater · 21/01/2020 14:04

Ahh don't like it I'm afraid. It's just a bit ugly!

Lots of strong female names that just sound and look nicer.

I’m not a fan personally, it’s rather drab.

IVflytrap · 19/01/2020 18:41

Adore it. It's one of my favourite girls names at the moment. Love that it's both Scandi (female version of Erik) and separately, the Latin name for heather.

Mamabear88 · 19/01/2020 18:31

I think it's nice, thumbs up from me!

RuthW · 19/01/2020 16:22

Lovely but dd was going to be Eric.

motortroll · 19/01/2020 15:09

Beautiful, my cousins name and I've taught a couple. Always lovely girls!

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 19/01/2020 15:06

Lovely name. Havent come across one under 35, so likely to stand out and be memorable, too.

MockneyReject · 19/01/2020 15:01

I like it.

Iwantmychairback · 19/01/2020 14:59

Always been one of my favourites along with Carla.

RachelEllenR · 19/01/2020 14:56

Don't love it, don't hate it. Generally I'm not that keen on boys names with an 'a' added though for girls. I don't think there's anything wrong with it thoogh.

daisypond · 19/01/2020 14:48

I like it very much. Not twee or cutesy. Nice plant. Strong.

needmoresleep1 · 19/01/2020 14:35

I really love it!!

jfoyo26 · 19/01/2020 14:08

Love it! Unfortunately for me husband doesn't

Astronica · 19/01/2020 09:41

I like it. Grown-up and stylish to me, and under-used while still quite recognisable. I see it as being like names such as Lydia, Julia, Claudia, Antonia - a style I like.

Clettercletterthatsbetter · 19/01/2020 09:31

I love it. Sadly it doesn’t work with our DD’s name or I’d have it on the list for this one.

sel2223 · 19/01/2020 09:29

I'm not a fan I'm afraid. I find it quite dated and harsh sounding.
I remember a video doing the rounds on social media where this American girls name was spelled 'air-wrecka' bless her

Thanks for the feedback. Genuinely helpful x

BobbyBlueCat · 18/01/2020 15:22

I don't like it. It has a very 'pointy' and harsh sound to it.

OwlBeThere · 18/01/2020 15:02

It is one of those names though where I think most people would assume it was after someone

I think that’s an odd thing to say and I certainly don’t think that.
It’s a nice name. I hate Eric for a bit though.

73Sunglasslover · 18/01/2020 14:54

I don't like it. I don't think you'll find a name that everyone likes though, so call her what you like.

NotNowPlzz · 18/01/2020 14:54

Love it
