Help[Opinions] Re: Erica / Heather
in reply to a message by Felie
In the U.S. Erica is pronounced ER-i-kə. Though the Italian pronunciation is kind of pretty, everyone here would have a hard time getting the pronunciation correct.
In the U.S. Erica has a rich white girl vibe. I always imagine someone very blonde with blue eyes. Probably partially because we had a neighbor named Erica for a few years who was blonde, blue eyed, wealthy, and dressed very preppy. She had a son named Ethan, when she got pregnant again they moved because the houses in our neighborhood were too small in their opinion. A lot of yuppies were living in our block at that time, we were their transition neighborhood, it was the early 2000's and houses were being bought and sold for around 600K.
Heather has more of a middle class vibe and it's a little more artsy. I don't imagine blonde girls only since I've met a large variety of Heather's. The Heather I know the best has bright orange ginger hair. Heather is a fairly dated name, I was born on the tail end of when Heather was really popular in the U.S.
Out of the two my favorite is Heather. I named one of my mid-sized beanie babies Heather, it makes me think of switch back trails, far below valleys, pink little mountain flowers, and it reminds me a little bit of Scotland. In WA heather grows on our mountains or at least the one I climbed had a bunch of heather.
