Comments for the name Erica

Erica means leader, or one who is in the lead.

I happen to love the name Erica. I spell my name Arica but it is pronounced the same (Air-ik-uh).

From personal experience, I have found that young girls under 10 with the name ERICA are spoiled brats, but, as they mature, they become very nice girls. If a girls name is ERIKA, though, they will be kind their whole life.

Erica is a pretty name. And I do like to spell it differently like 'Arica,' or with a K: 'Arika', or if you want to be unique: Eirikah.

I've always been happy with my name. These days I'll hear someone call out "Erica!" but it often turns out to be a Mom calling her daughter (usually 5 or younger)!

When I was little I hated my name, now that I'm 11 and more mature I appreciate my name because it is more sophisticated than a lot of names. But people also call me Eri (air-e).

My name is Erika with a "k". I used to hate it but now I think it's beautiful, a very sophisticated, high-class sounding name, but I don't like the common spelling "Erica". It makes me think of a really mean girl I used to know.

This name means "ruler for all time" or "ruler forever".

My name is Erica but it is spelled Ericka. I love the way my name is spelled. I have looked it up many times and found that some people say it means ever powerful. My initials spell ELK so my family and friends call me LIL ELK. To all you Erickas out there we have a beautiful name.

I think the name Erica is a lovely, short name. My name is Erica and I'm called Eir by most of my friends, but still, Erica is a great name to have.

I think Erica is a nice name. All my friends call me Eir. I used to always want my name to be Stacey, but now that I'm 11 I respect my name more.

Erica is actualy a Russian name.

Erica is a nice name, strong but still feminine. I do prefer it with the "c" rather than a "k". I find the "k" spelling a bit harsh.

I think the name Erica is a beautiful name that is elegant, classic and cool.

Erica is the name of Chandler and Monica's adopted daughter in the tv series Friends. Erica's mother was also called Erica.

I rather like my name. Only instead I spell it like, A R Y K A. It is still pronounced the same, but the spelling is different. It doesn't matter which way you spell it, it doesn't change the person's life or anything. But I guess that by spelling it my way, I have become more confident in being who I am. But it still doesn't matter how you spell it. It won't effect their personality or anything. It's just the spelling.

My name is Erica and I love it. Although everyone else spells it Ericka, that's alright. I think it's pretty and my other good friend's name is Erica and she's an awesome person! Thumbs up for all Ericas. :D

Is the name of suspense author Erica Spindler who wrote "Dead Run", "Cause for Alarm", "Copycat", etc.

This name was used more in the 1980's.

The best name ever!

Erica or Erika is a beautiful name. I love most E names, like Elizabeth, Emma, Emily, and finally Erika.

I've always loved the name Erica, despite the fact my mum hates it. While she liked Edwina, I liked Erica (who do you think is the sane one?) I also had a friend when I was growing up called Heather, and since that name is becoming more popular on girls these days, I think I'd call my daughter Erica so I could remember my friend without adding yet another Heather to the world.

I like Erika better, but the name Erica still rocks!

I prefer this name spelt with a c. I know a lot of people who spell it with a k. Either way, I like this name. It's a bit plain, but nice in its simplicity.

Novelist Erica Jong, best known for her 70s best seller FEAR OF FLYING.

My name is Erica, but I find it annoying when people misspell it. I've had people write down my name as Ericka, Erika, and even Arykah. I don't understand why, since I go by the most common spelling of the name.

One of my best friend's name is Erica. She was, in fact, named after her father, Eric. Her mother added the "a" at the end to make it more feminine.

The name Erica rocks, though most people spell it E-R-I-K-A, (that name is cool too) but my name has always been E-R-I-C-A and I like it a lot. I've found it means ruler of all, or ever powerful. Most Ericas I've found also are very strong too. Ericas are the best!

I also did not like my name at first. Sounds a little too rough for me. But I'm going by Eri now since most of my family calls me that anyway.

Erykah Badu's real name is Erica Wright.

Erica Durance is an actress who is best known for playing Lois Lane on the show "Smallville."

My best friend's name is Erica and my name is Heather. Which I think is interesting considering Erica means "heather" in Latin.

This is my name and I think it's beautiful - I love how it's known in many cultures: Scavinavian, Latin, Japan, etc. Erica spelled this way is also a flower in Italy - which is also a part of my heritage.

This verison always came across as softer to me, much better than Erika.

My name is Erica, and I haven't always liked it, though now I do. It isn't as popular anymore either, but it's still really nice. It means 'ruler of all' or 'ever powerful' and Heather in Latin.

Erica is the name of an evergreen shrub or small tree of the heath with family. The plants have small leathery leaves and bell-shaped flowers.

My name is Erica, spelled this way. My mom gave me this spelling because she already liked the sound, but thought the way Erica Kane on "All My Children" spelled it looked pretty!

I love the name, and I plan on naming my future daughter Erika, should I have one. Our family is Norwegian, so that particular spelling goes with our roots.

I'm named after Erica Kane from All My Children. I know weird right? But, my mom is a HUGE Soap Network fan.

A famous bearer of this name is Erica Durance, who plays Lois Lane on the CW's "Smallville".

I prefer Erika.

Erica Dunham, of the band Unter Null.

I liked this name when I was about 12. I thought it was rarer back then, and despite its popularity for my birth year (92) I have not met many Ericas. It sounds like the name of an intelligent and talented woman to me. I still might use it, as its popularity is declining.

In "Underworld" Sophia Myles plays a vampire named Erica.

This name sounds really manly and ugly if you ask me!

I think it's pretty!

This is my name. I was born in 1993, when it was quite popular. I do find it a bit dated, but I much prefer it spelled this way over any other combination of letters.

Erica (best spelling) is my name and it is a beautiful name. Most people call me Eri. But my dad wanted a name similar to his name Derek. When I was born Erica Kane was so popular from All My Children and he thought it was perfect; hence my name. I am happy my name is not as popular as some other beautiful names like Nicole, Heather, or Elizabeth.

I knew someone who spelled it Aeryka, which I like.

My parents were thinking about naming me this and I wish they did. Erica is pretty and classy.

Erica sounds a bit too much like Eric.
