HelpRe: Cara vs Erica
in reply to a message by Lumiereslove
I find Cara flimsy, much like Mia and for much the same reason. Also like Bonnie. They just are adjectives, and sound unfinished. Cara who? Mia what? Bonnie where - Dundee?
Erica for a girl is far more to my taste than Eric for a boy. And the fact that it's a flower name disguised as a fem form just adds to the pleasure.
One possible disadvantage maybe: I was at school with a splendid Erica who died tragically and far too young. She had an elder sister who, as a toddler, just couldn't cope with Erica and called her Egg or Eggs; she accepted this graciously and it even appeared in print when she announced her engagement: Erica Joy (Eggs) Lastname and Blokesname. If you can avoid the egg element, it's a great name.
