I really like Erica, I didn't know that was on your list. It seems to go perfectly.Rachel is also very pretty. Tori is too nicknamey.

I voted for Jenna, but I like Autumn too!! I just think Jenna flows well with the other daughters names.

I didn't know Erica was going to be on my final list, either. I hadn't even considered it, but it was recommended to me as a good sibling name for Brooke, and I really liked it. It's not a name I would have ever pictured using, but it just sounded so good with my other girl's names that it made the list. Thanks for all of the help!

~BTW, what is the best spelling Erica, Erika, or Arica? I have always seen Erica used, but since investigating the name more I have found the two other spellings. What do you ladies think?

As an 'Erika' I had to reply. I would go with the Erica spelling because it is the most common and, if like me, your daughter will go through her whole life correcting people on the spelling of her name AND not finding all those cute personalized items as a kid. You can almost always find Erica, very rarely Erika, and I have never seen Arica (looks like a letter missing from Africa when I see that).

Hope this helps!

Stick with the proper/original spelling- Erica. Any other way just looks misspelled and ruins a perfectly nice name!

I like a lot of them, proably Erica or Adrienne the best. I wouldn't go with Savanna(h) because you've already got one child with a city name so I would shy away from names of other cities.

Erica is by far the most common. I've met one Erika and one Erik but both were from German families. I would assume you were German or Scandinavian if I saw it spelt this way. Arica looks misspelt and ppl may think you were aiming for Ah-ri-ka as a pronunciation. Unless you have a really good reason, I'd stick with the traditional English spelling.
