Erica. It's much more original.

ChessPiece · 12/07/2011 20:37

Clara

LaTristesse · 12/07/2011 21:34

Clara. Think Erica is ugly... (sorry)

Fatimalovesbread · 12/07/2011 22:56

I Prefer Clara but DH says Erica (sorry that's not much help)

I don't think of Erica as the feminine version of Eric, although I suppose it could be seen that way. "Erika" is heather in German.

muminthemiddle · 13/07/2011 23:01

Clara, more feminine imo. Erika just screams female Eric to me and I don't like masculine sounding names (except for males!). lLkewise I don't like effeminate sounding names for boys.

Clara is lovely. Erica is awful.

greenzebra · 14/07/2011 17:32

Clara, erica its just a mans name with an a on the end

washngo · 14/07/2011 22:04

Both lovely but if pushed I'd say erica.

Hassled · 14/07/2011 22:05

Clara. Love it.
Erica Roe was big breasted rugby streaker 100 years ago.

Meglet · 14/07/2011 22:06

Clara.

washngo · 14/07/2011 22:06

Also I have a friend erica who I've known all my life and never ever once has it occurred to me to think of her name as a female version of eric. It is another name for heather (as in flower all over hills in Scotland) though.

Clara by a long distance
