Erica all the way. Looks nicer, prettier, less spiky.

I think both are fine. Realistically, I would prefer Erica, but Erika is pretty nice as well. Erica is pretty in a simple yet classy way. Not too flashy or as if the parents are trying to tell you how “different” they are, just nice. Erika is cool, but I’m not a huge fan.

It’s kind of like how I feel about Eric. I recently met an Erick a few months ago and when I first saw the spelling I was just like “Awww come on now, why THAT spelling? Eric is such a nice name.” but then I learned it’s just a matter of culture. Erick has actually grown in me even if I prefer Eric or Erik.

Erika, idk It's spicier. I tend to favor the -ka variants over -ca because it has a little more personality & edge. A little bit more strong and empowered. Erica is a professional, but Erika is a Saucy professional lol 😆

Erica for English speaking countries, Erika where that is the local spelling

Depends. In English or French, I'd probably choose Erica. My sister-in-law is Swedish and her name is Erika. Most nordic countries spell it with a ''k''.

Erika. Even though -ca makes more sense in English and French, there's something about the 'i' and 'k' being beside each other that looks prettier to me. Like, visually, it just looks more feminine to me for some reason. I like both though. I have a lot of positive associations with both spellings.

Erika.

I like how it looks on paper and the fact it is well-known in several languages.
To me, Erica seems rather bland.

Erica, unless the environment is not English. I had a good friend at school named Erica Joy; she died of a heart attack, far too young, so it has sad associations for me but it's a good name. Better than Eric.
