I think both are fine. Realistically, I would prefer
Erica, but
Erika is pretty nice as well.
Erica is pretty in a simple yet classy way. Not too flashy or as if the parents are trying to tell you how “different” they are, just nice.
Erika is cool, but I’m not a huge fan.
It’s kind of like how I feel about
Eric. I recently met an
Erick a few months ago and when I first saw the spelling I was just like “Awww come on now, why THAT spelling?
Eric is such a nice name.” but then I learned it’s just a matter of culture.
Erick has actually grown in me even if I prefer
Eric or
Erik.
