Christina or Erika?

That's it really!

The 'k' in Erika is due to our partly continental European background. I'm not sure if we'd go with Kristina though. Something to think about still.

Thoughts?

Erica is one of my favourite names even though it is dated. I prefer it with a C.
Funnily, I prefer Kristina with a K.

I like both a lot. Very fresh these days.

Hi KoalasandRabbit

Thank you for your reply and your honesty! It's appreciated. I understand what you mean about the datedness, I do. But we have a (distant) family member with one of those names and I find once it's attached to a real person (especially a younger one) it no longer seems dated, but fresh, if you see what I mean.

I think both are fine with your background, you may have to spell them both out to avoid misspellings in UK but just C / K in both. Both sound a bit dated to me but nice enough names.
