Erika

My name is Erikka spelled with two k's. I like how unique it is.

So pretty, I wish my name was Erika. And I prefer this spelling over Erica because I think Erica is too soft.

Like other Erika's opinions of our names, I hated it and then grew to like it. But I have met other Erika's that don't feel a connection to our name like I don't. Though we like it, we are indifferent to it. We really aren't sure we feel like an Erika. Are there others out there?

YES. Thank you that's exactly how I feel and it's honestly nice to know I'm not the only one. I've been feeling suuper bad about it.

On a positive note personally I am glad it's a 'K' & not a 'C' still both beautiful spelling though.

It's fine, but it sounds a little too harsh. That's why I prefer Erica.

I adore this name it is gorgeous. I just love everything about it if you have this name you are super lucky- it's absolutely gorgeous.

This is another stereotypical name for a European girl. I love this name a lot.

This spelling is ugly.

Male version of Eric. I feel there is something harsh sounding about the name Erika. If used I prefer the traditional spelling Erica.

I love the name Erika, especially with a K. It’s so attractive and for a baby and kid, Eri is a cute nickname.

I really like the name Erika, maybe it's because I grew up watching Barbie's Princess and The Pauper, but either way this name is very lovely and it isn't too formal but still has charm.

I absolutely adore this name and the way it is spelled. Not only can I appreciate the novelty of this Nordic classic,
but I also think the ‘k’ adds an extra dose of exotic spice that adds further charm to this name. A definite plus from my point of view. Very lovely if I do say so myself.

My daughter is named Erika. I think it’s one of the most beautiful names in the world. It looks feminine to me when written down and I like the way it sounds.

Very pretty! Definitely a classic name.

Great and timeless name! I like to spell Eric with a "c", however, I'd like to spell Erika with a "k". It was also the name of a tropical storm that hit Dominica in 2015.

I like Erika. I used to think it's ugly but started to gradually like it as my love for Scandinavian countries was raising. I like its harshness. I generally prefer more girly names for girls, but the type of harshness Erika has in itself really appeals to me. And still, it's feminine, but not overly. I prefer it much more to Erica.

I don't know what it is about this name, but I love it. Maybe it's because I was obsessed with The Little Mermaid when I was little (the prince's name is Eric).

This is my aunts name and my middle name! I used to hate this name but I quite like it now!

I knew someone named this but they spelled it Aeryka.

I REALLY like this this name in the Japanese pronunciation.

It's my name! I thought it was pretty awful at the time when my friends at kindergarten and elementary school started calling me Erik or Krik-krik like sound of grasshoper. But when I knew what it meant and how people in another country love this name (I'm Indonesian), I can't help but be proud and love it too. Thanks to my granny who gave me this name. :))

I'm not sure if I like this name. I know too many Erikas.

It's a lovely name. A little bit rough and harsh, but I love it. I hope it will be my daughter's name someday :)

I like this name. It's refreshing and puts an unusual edge on the name 'Erica'.

I like how it's spelled, it looks better than Erica.

I had a friend in elementary school called Erika. I always thought it was just a modern version of a name until I saw this. I like it.

I absolutly agree! I have the same experience as some of you, I always hated this name but I got to love it, nowadays. And, as well, there are people saying, that I look like Erika. :o)

My name is Erika, and I've actually seen it spelled "Airika" a couple of times. I love the etymology of my name!

I like this name. If one had twin girls they could name them Erika and Kiera, which are anagrams!

This is my best friend's name and she is the only person I've ever known called Erika! A lot of our teachers have never taught an Erika before except this one and that shows how uncommon it is and that's good in a name!

Erika is one of the best names you can probably get.

My name. As I've grown up, I've grown to love the name. If your name is Erika, be proud!

I think Erika is so much more pleasing to the ear than its male counterpart, Erik. My favorite spelling of this name has to be Eirika, however uncommon that may be.

Erika is a lovely and classic name. Too bad the American soap opera ruined it's traditional image a bit and made it briefly trendy in the 70s, as it's an extremely old Scandinavian name. Either way, it is still a beautiful and sophisticated choice, and very underused these days.

I love this name. My name is Erika and I used to hate it, but now I think it's beautiful.
