A hideous way of spelling a beautiful name.

I think the person who wrote the first comment is out of their mind. Ericka is way better than Erica, it adds dimension to the name.

I agree with the first poster. The k makes it look like the parents were uneducated when they named their child.

This is the best way to spell this name. As this is my name, I'm so grateful that my mother, worn out after my natural birth [painful labor], "accidentally" spelled my name this way! With just a 'c' or a 'k', ie "Eric-a" or "Erik-a", it sounds plain and barely emasculates "Eric", whereas "Eric-ka" is almost like "Eureka!"

I was named after Susan Lucci's character off of "All My Children": Erica Kane. And I think putting both a 'c' *and* a 'k' in the name loads it with too many letters.
