  1. We love the Erica coz of its meaning and have always want my baby to bear that name

  2. I have a cousin name Erica i just love the way she works to get what she wants and i love she has a great personality and soul; Also i like Erica it has a Latin taste

  3. My Mom named me in 1979 after Erica Estrada lol I thought she was joking but she wasn’t. Otherwise I would of been a Tanya. I think Erica suits me much better and I honestly love my name. I have a sister named April. I wanted to name our twin boys after me and my husband Eric and David Jr. he said no I thought after I joked about Edward and Jacob the other names would of won lol they are Evan and David. Sister has an E name too!

    • Even though you were joking, I love the names Edward and Jacob for twins. I never watched the twilight stuff but that is cracking me up. Btw, I named my son David too ?
      All my life I have been asked if I’m named after Erica Kane from All My Children Soap Opera lol. I was not named after anyone.

  4. When my mom was pregnant with me her and my dad wanted to name me Erica. A few weeks before I was born they chose Jessica from the Man from Snowy River. My cousin was born a couple weeks after me and was named Erica. Well growing up I loved the name Katie. My cousin Erica had a little sister named Katlyn. After I was married I chose our first son’s name. I had loved the name Danny sense middle school. When we had our third, but first girl I told my husband he got first choice and he said Erica. Made me chuckle a bit. We went with the middle name MaryAnn after my mom EvaAnn and his mom Mary Alice just making it that more special.

    Jess

  5. When I was a little girl I had a baby doll and I call her Erica and I told my mom that when I grow up I will call my little girl Erica just like my baby doll I like this name because it reminds me of back when I was a little girl I love you my little princess and don’t forget to it
